The characters of Night Watch skirt the uneasy, even treacherous boundaries between what is known and what is longed for, and what is and what might be. In "The Hunga Pass we learn about a Tongan fakaleiti, a boy raised as a girl and then transplanted for a time to the American Midwest. In "The Cane Field we encounter the myriad ways a mother's love for her daughter can be shredded by cultural and political forces in Fiji. And, in "Inside Passage we learn about a seafaring culture, which is as foreign, and more treacherous, than anything encountered on land.
These are haunting tales that dislocate and unsettle, even (and perhaps especially) in their moments of revelation. They are the work of a prodigiously talented young writer.
