Don Mitchell

    Cet auteur explore les liens profonds entre l'humanité et le monde naturel à travers ses créations littéraires. En tant qu'anthropologue, il s'est immergé dans la vie de la communauté Nagovisi, acquérant une perspective unique sur l'expérience humaine qui informe son écriture. Son travail est motivé par une passion pour la narration et la poésie, ancrée dans des années de travail de terrain ethnographique. Les récits qui en résultent explorent souvent des thèmes tels que la culture, l'interdépendance environnementale et le voyage personnel de découverte.

      Exploring the complexities of memory and truth, the memoir intertwines personal experiences with the chilling 1969 murder of Jane Britton, a Harvard graduate and friend of the author, who found himself a suspect in the case. Mitchell delves into Hawaiian culture's concept of shibai, or gaslighting, as he reflects on his life, including his youth on the Big Island and interactions with diverse cultures. Through his journey, he examines how facts can distort perceptions and the enduring power of love and connection across time and cultures.
