Heads by Harry Paperback - 2000
by Lois-Ann Yamanaka
"Yamanaka concludes her trilogy of novels set among the Japanese-American working class in Hilo, Hawaii, with a work that delivers a precise look at this vibrant culture yet speaks to anyone who has experienced the joy, security, and small humiliations of family life."--"The New York Times Book Review."
From the rear cover
You can always count on a crowd outside Heads by Harry, the Yagyuu family's taxidermy shop in Hilo, where the regulars gather every day to drink beer, eat smoked meat, and pontificate into the pau hana hours. But above the shop, where the family lives, life isn't so predictable. Toni Yagyuu, the middle child, has enough on her hands dealing with her budding diva of a little sister. But it is the men in her life that really have her running in circles: a flamboyant older brother who wants to be a hairdresser, a stubborn father who refuses to accept her into the family business, and the Santos brothers -- two pig-hunting, ex-high school football players who don't know what to think of their headstrong, outspoken neighbor.
Haunting, compassionate, wildly original and brutally funny, HEADS BY HARRY takes its rightful place alongside Lois-Ann Yamanaka's acclaimed novels on growing up in Hawaii.
