Requests:  0 Summary:  "Growing up outside a US military base in South Korea in the aftermath of the Vietnam War, Insu--the son of a Korean mother and a German father enlisted in the US Army--spends his days with his "half and half" friends skipping school, selling scavenged Western goods on the black market, watching Hollywood movies, and testing the boundaries between childhood and adulthood. When he hears a legend that water collected in a human skull will cure any sickness, he vows to find some in order to heal his ailing Big Uncle, a geomancer who has been exiled by the family to a mountain cave to die. Insu's quest takes him and his friends on a sprawling, wild journey into some of South Korea's darkest corners, opening them up to a world beyond their grasp. Meanwhile, Big Uncle has embraced his solitude and fate, and as he recalls his wartime experiences of betrayal and lost love, he attempts to teach his nephew that life is not limited to what we can see--or think we know. Largely autobiographical and deeply rooted in time and place, Skull Water is the story of a boy coming into his own--and the ways the past continues to haunt the present in a country struggling to confront its troubled history as it moves into modernity"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Fenkl Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
