Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers

Ficción por Lois-Ann Yamanaka

Resumen

Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers is a Japanese American-Hawaiian adult fiction novel by Lois-Ann Yamanaka. Its tonality is distinctive to that of a local Hawaiian culture in that all the main characters speak in Hawaiian Pidgin. Although it is an adult fiction novel, the plot follows a young Japanese girl throughout her years in middle school. The major themes of the novel include comparing a mother-daughter relationship with a father-daughter one, finding one's identity, and the politics of Japanese Hawaiian culture in a white America.
Sections of the novel were adapted for the award-winning film, Fishbowl, by Hawaii filmmaker Kayo Hatta, that aired nationally on PBS in 2006.
