One of the best things about being at a university is all the interesting people there are to meet and listen to--Rodney Morales is a colleague of mine, very smart and funny--

“The Role of Research in a Place-Based Novel—For a Song,” by Rodney Morales
This week's Brown Bag (October 6, 2016) features a talk by Rodney Morales on the role that research plays in his fiction, particularly his recently released novel, For a Song. He will talk about how his fabrications aim to work in service of the truth, not only by focusing on documentable events, actual personages, and witnessable landscapes, as histories and biographies do, but also by finding ways to breathe life into them.
Rodney Morales is a creative writing professor at UH Mānoa. Besides his recently published crime novel, For a Song, Morales is the author of When the Shark Bites, a novel, and The Speed of Darkness, a short story collection. He is also the editor of Ho‘iHo‘i Hou—A Tribute to George Helm and Kimo Mitchell.
We hope you'll join us!
