Native Soles

by Tim Parise

Sexual radicalism and social revolution go hand in hand for Hawaiian boy Nahoa and his family, who spend their days on Oahu living they way their ancestors did, in pursuit of lea--joy and orgasm--and reliant upon nature, while working to undermine the society of the American invaders through through their aggressively and historically-accurate sexual lifestyle.  Native Soles follows a week in the lives of this family as Nahoa bonds with an equally countercultural Mohawk girl, Reed, who shares his family's views on the importance of sex as a weapon against colonizers and imperialists and a key component of true native culture.

About the author

I was born on the island of Maui, but grew up mostly in Colorado and Montana, though I've also spent time in North Dakota, California, and Washington, as well as aboard a sailboat in Florida, and now live in Sedona, Arizona. My first published poem came out when I was six and I've been writing away steadily ever since. I like to dabble in alternate futures as well as alternate histories, exploring man's potential to better the world instead of merely coping with it. Occasionally I also write historical nonfiction dealing with odd subjects that have taken too great a hold on my imagination.
