On this special episode of Long Story Short with Leslie Wilcox, we look back at conversations with three of Hawai‘i’s contemporary authors: Chris McKinney, Susanna Moore and Gavan Daws. These “wordsmiths” have built careers weaving stories of Hawai‘i in distinctive, personal ways and have proven exceptional at bringing these stories to the page. Hear how they approach their craft and get a glimpse into their literary lives.

Leslie Wilcox talks with Susanna Moore, Punahou graduate and author of the novels In the Cut and The Whiteness of Bones. Susanna talks about how her mother's mysterious death affected her as a child and into her adult years.
