商品簡介
Accompanied by the deep beats of Amapiano music, D. Nandi Odhiambo's gritty, high-stakes new novel is a masterful blend of literary fiction and noir-- an existential thriller where the past and present collide. When the pandemic abruptly arrives, Daliso Okoth, a DJ and existential philosopher living in Waikiki, loses his job as a construction labourer. At a crossroads, he joins his girlfriend and fellow DJ, Norrie Vee, in her side hustle selling prescription and designer drugs on Oahu. After her business partner steals their supply, Norrie and Daliso are left in a lurch. With travel bans causing shortages of supply on the island, they scramble to mitigate the damage by selling ecstasy for a former corrupt Detective. Set against the hyperreal backdrop of the beauty and poverty of Hawai'i, Amapiano Eyes depicts people caught between the lessons of the past, the reality of the present, and their urgent need for survival in a world of increasing isolation, scarcity, and instability.
