Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers by Lois-Ann Yamanaka
Growing up in Hawaii, Lovey Nariyoshi is having the worst year of her life. Overweight and unpopular, she's sick of being poor and settling for home-made and second best. Her family thinks she's uppity and her schoolteacher scorns the way she talks. For, above all, Lovey is Japanese-American - not white, not haole - and from the food she eats to the pidgin she speaks, nothing in her life fits the standard model of success. Heartbreaking and hilarious by turns, written in a language that explodes off the page, Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers introduces one of the most vibrant new voices in fiction today.
Lois-Ann Yamanaka is the author of the award-winning short story collection Saturday Night at the Pahala Theatre. She lives in Honolulu, Hawaii.
