According to the magazine, “Honolulu is among the handful of publications in the U.S. that have chronicled the events of an entire century. It is, in fact, the oldest magazine in the State of Hawai`i. A quality, four-color magazine, it reaches Hawaii’s best educated and most affluent residents, as well as its most sophisticated visitors. Each month the magazine takes an unblinking look at contemporary issues.” A partial list of Duvauchelle’s HONOLULU articles are listed below. Please contact him for PDFs of the original articles as they appeared in the magazine.
