2022.04.07 21:33 fixtheblue [Scheduled] - To Paradise: ¾ of Part II to "I was wrong about that, too"
Hello all and welcome to check in 4 of the current mod pick hosted by myself (u/fixtheblue), u/Joinedformyhubs and u/galadriel2931. To Paradise by Hanya Yanagihara. As always below is a summary of this section and discussion prompts in the comments. Please feel free to share any other thoughts and insights or comment with your own questions for other readers.
SUMMARY
book ii Part II
This part begins from, Wika, David's father's, perspective telling David about his past. The last time he saw his son David he was only 15. It is revealed that Wika is highly medicated and so has lost years, even as much as a decade. He has no concept of time. He seems lucid to the reader, but he relates his life in the medical facility where he is bed bound, maybe catatonic and wearing a diaper. Throughout his story he explains how he was able to stand again and eventually move around his room.
He misses Kawike, and wants him to know the truth about grandmother now. Most of the family wealth was gone by the time Wika's father joined the family business. However, they were still wealthy even though Wika didn't realise this because they did not live extravagently. His noble blooded father died when Wika was about 8 leaving gambling debts behind. At Lā‘ie church Wika's father was reverred and called your highess and King. Wika couldn't live up to this, and after he passed a donation was made to the church in his absence. After Wika's father's death his mother's heritage was questioned not only that she lacked noble blood but also that she was haole (not a Hawaiian native).
Wika met Edward at school when they were 10. Edward was on a scholarship and David's family had a long history with the school stretching back generations. Both children were outsiders, and so slowly developed a friendship though not a comfortable one. At Edward's house after school Wika notice many differences between how they both lived. Especially their relationships to their mothers. Edward and his mother Victoria visit Wika and his mother. Victoria reveals Edward's father left when he was a baby.
After the summer the boys drifted apart. Edward was good at sports so though the students told stories about the poor boy he wasn't ridiculed. When he was 13 Wika overheared that Edward's mother is now also a dancer at Forsythia's. He cycles over one day after school, and watches her traditional Hawaiian dance. He feels confused.When Wika was almost 16 Hawaii was granted statehood. Edward thinks this is terrible news.
After graduation the students went to mainland colleges to be educated before returning to Hawaii and getting jobs. Wika went to an obscure liberal-arts school in the Hudson Valley of New York, but quickly realised it wasn't for him. Both with respect to the school, and the people, which becomes glaringly apparent after witnessing a particularly vile, racist performance at the school variety show. Wika requested money from his Uncle William spending 8 days walking the streets of Manhatten until his mother found out and ordered him home. His last day in New York Wika bumps into a beggar who recognises him as Hawaiian royalty. Wika returmed to Hawaii, where he gained a degree and "took over" the family company, an unambitious holding consisting of the family's remaining real-estate. Wika's position was redundant and he went to work less and less, eventually stopping all together. He was lonely and bored.
On one of his regular drives around the island he met Alice, an exchange student from Minneapolis. Alice left Hawaii, but had Wika's child. She chose to go to Japan to study, and so Uncle William fetched baby David back to Hawaii in axchange for a sum of money large enough to require his mother to sell their house. Wika had started having seizures by this time and his mother wasn't sure there would be another heir. Raising David united Wika and his mother.
After a decade not seeing each other Wika bumps into Edward. He learns that Victoria had passed away from breast cancer. They began seeing each other regularly. Edward was now a political radical. He never finished his degree and did odd jobs in order to get enough money to survive. Edward takes Wika to a meeting where Bethesda gives a speech about the evils of the new statehood status of Hawaii. Edward is rapt with it saying that night "transformed him," but Wika was wary. They listened to the recording of that speech many times.
About a year later Edward agreed to "come in" one evening after they had been out together. He tries goading Wika's mother by criticising their Christmas tree as being very un-Hawaiian, but she keeps calm. He rants about religion and oppression until he is interupted by Wika having a seizure. When Wika woke his mother asked him not to see Edward anymore, and he did not for 3 years. The international political climate of the time were protests against the war in Vietnam, marches for women's rights, gay rights, Black Power. On Hawaii Keiki kū Ali‘i (the children of royalty) wanted more autonomy for Hawaii. Wika was in awe of the protestors passion When Wika and Edward reunite 3 years later Wika spends a lot of time listening to Edward talk. He had started speaking pigdin which sounded forced to Wika. He had been part of the Keiki kū Ali‘i (among other groups), but they had not been extreme enough for him. One day Edward took him to an empty northern part of the island revealing that the land belonged to Wika and Kiwaka, inherited from his father. Wika confirms this with his Uncle William who tells how the land is useless, and both his father and grandfather only held onto it out of sentimentality. Lipo-wao-nahele became an inside joke as the place where all desirable things would be found and where rules didn't apply - paradise. Wika started believing himself a king.
His mother was not happy that he was seeing Edward again and didn't speak to him for a week. Wika and Edward began going to Lipo-wao-nahele every weekend, and fantasising about what it could be, but not actually putting any effort into making it happen. They changed their names to real Hawaiian names Edward to Ekewaka and eventually Paiea. Though Wika only did it to appease Edward. Wika wished that Kawika would always be the little boy that adored and looked up to his father.
Next check-in will be 14th April from Part II "Kawike..." through book iii, Part II letter end "...With love, C." and hosted by u/galadriel2931.
