Beschreibung:
Born in Honolulu, Cedric Yamanaka has received numerous awards for his fiction and journalism. He wrote the screen adaptation of "The Lemon Tree Billiards House," which received the Hawaii International Film Festival's Best Hawaii Film Award in 1996. He is currently working on his first novel.
In Good Company is a celebration of life in Hawai'i, beyond Waikiki and Diamond Head. Its characters work sixteen-hour-shifts at airport driveins, play pool with cursed hitmen, wrestle their high school sweethearts in Chinatown bars. From Manoa to Waianae to the author's hometown of Kalihi, men and women seek love, dignity, and a place to belong. At the heart of In Good Company are the mysterious-and often wonderful -- things that can happen to the human spirit when one life intersects with another.
