夏威夷女孩樂薇成能,雖說生於斯長於斯,然而她的故事卻非滿是花圈、鳳梨與連續劇《夏威夷之虎》(Magnum, P.I.)如此夏威夷典型。樂薇與她那古怪的日本家庭,住在這座熱帶天堂的大島希洛市,一家人過著近貧的生活。即便生活諸多不如意,所幸樂薇還有她那親愛卻娘娘腔的摯友傑瑞,一同承受校園霸凌、階級衝突,作伙上勝家縫紉課,閣有田裡那痛苦萬分的夏威夷豆採收工作,並試圖在生活中找尋自我認同。作者露易絲安.山中以詼諧幽默又諷刺的口吻,以夏威夷特有洋涇濱美語,書就一則關於亞裔女孩成長過程的酸甜苦鹹。
Her name is Lovey Nariyoshi, and her Hawai'i is not the one of leis, pineapple, and Magnum P.I. In the blue collar town of Hilo, on the Big Island, Lovey and her eccentric Japanese-American family are at the margins of poverty, in the midst of a tropical paradise. With her endearing, effeminate best friend Jerry, Lovey suffers schoolyard bullies, class warfare, Singer sewing classes, and the surprisingly painful work of picking on a macadamia nut plantation, all while trying to find an identity of her own. At once a bitingly funny satire of haole happiness and a moving meditation on what is real, if ugly at times, but true, Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers crackles with the language of pidgin--Hawai'i Creole English--distinguishing one of the most vibrant voices in contemporary culture. Stories from this enduring novel have been adapted into the film Fishbowl, by groundbreaking director Kayo Hatta.
