60-Second Book Reports

Author Jerry DiCairano describes his satirical new novel, Nobody Speaks Hawiian in New Jersey. At times wickedly funny and satirical, at times touching and dramatic, the book brings together a disgruntled president of the United States who secretly hopes to lose his bid for re-election, a luckless college president with concrete fever, and a destitute 86-year-old resident of a New Jersey nursing home who hopes to replenish his exhausted health benefits by qualifying for a government-funded job as a Hawaiian-speaking airline mechanic. Set in 2024 and employing humor to explore important themes, "Nobody Speaks Hawaiian in New Jersey" is an imaginative and suspenseful page-turner that continually surprises the reader.
