Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers (Paperback, Reissue)


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.
