Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers - by Lois-Ann Yamanaka (Paperback)

Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers is a vibrant and moving novel that crackles with the language of pidgin--Hawai'i Creole English.

Set in the blue collar town of Hilo on the Big Island, this book follows the journey of Lovey Nariyoshi and her eccentric Japanese-American family as they navigate schoolyard bullies, class warfare, and the surprisingly painful work of picking macadamia nuts.

With a voice that is both exuberant and fresh-voiced, this novel is a powerful meditation on what is real and true, even if it's ugly at times.

Stories from this enduring novel have been adapted into the film Fishbowl by groundbreaking director Kayo Hatta.

Don't miss out on this unforgettable read that has captured the hearts of readers and critics alike.
