The VinFast Ironman World Championship women’s triathlon isn’t the only show in town this week. There’s plenty of activities, festivals, entertainment and more around the island to keep keiki to kūpuna busy.

Leslie Karst, now an author based in Hilo on the Big Island, writes about how the nine months of preparation for that one intimate meal changed the trajectory of her life in her sixth book, a memoir: “Justice is Served: A Tale of Scallops, the Law, & Cooking for RBG.”

Writers and book publishers are worried it's another sign that books you can hold in your hands might soon be relics of the past.

Our hope with running a list like this is to cast a much-deserved spotlight on Hawai‘i’s best stories and authors.
