scorer. Both have different skills
sets and together make for a really
good team.
The writing is another sus-
penseful account of high school
basketball culture and the opposi-
tional forces that kids face, a pre-
quel to his previous pens, Wiley’s
Lament (2003) and Wiley’s Shuf-
fle, (2004).
The book intersects basketball
culture and gangs in a trajecto-
ry of conflicts that wage turmoil
on high school athletes dreaming
of winning state championships
while dealing with the surround-
ing elements and influx of gangs
waging warfare on turfs. It’s a tug
of war of triumph and tragedy as
students, neighborhoods and fam-
ilies try to co-exist.
The book is also a tribute to ev-
eryone who successfully navigated
the violence during these eras. It’s
homage to hometown heroes who
will never be forgotten. There are
villains and victims, and like a tsu-
nami, when catastrophe strikes, the
tidal wave of tragedy is of such mag-
nitude that everyone is impacted.
Waiwaiole shared that the name
of one of his characters was in-
spired by a student he taught at
Marshall who wanted to be named
in his book. The inspiration for the
name Wiley came from the au-
thor’s childhood.
“That name came from a nick-
name, kids used to call me. Be-
cause they couldn’t pronounce my
first and last name, they used to
call me ‘Wiley Coyote.’ So I said
okay, fine, I will reference it as my
alter ego.”
Waiwaiole shares that his cul-
tural background helped him de-
velop the different characters.
“Being multicultural, it’s been
a benefit throughout my literary
life. Especially, how people get
along in inner and outer circles. It
has helped me interact with people
from various groups.”
