• BIOG Edward Said (1935–2003) is best known for his 1978 book Orientalism, which revolutionized the study of the Eastern world and heavily influenced the emerging field of postcolonial studies as well as literary studies in general. VERDICT While there is a great deal of theory in this sweeping biography, Brennan has succeeded in writing an account that is both an act of love and a solid study of a fascinating man.—David Keymer, Cleveland Clare Farley, Audrey. With humor and a no-holds-barred self-inspection, the author illuminates these layers and reminds us that "the clean reduction of a woman to any prime number is always a lie." The book also embraces the setting of Hawai'i, providing insight into the cultural and political scene of the 50th state, especially focusing on the experience of women leadership in Hawai'i's unique culture.
