About This Item
Honolulu : University of Hawai'i Press, 2002., 2002. As New. 1st printing ; stiff paper wrappers ; xi, 185 pp. ; 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. ; Contents: The lemon tree billiards house -- One evening in the Blue Light Bar and Grill -- What the ironwood whispered -- The day Mr. Kaahunui rebuilt my old man's fence -- The three-and-a-half-hour Christmas party -- Da Papah Fooball champion -- Uncle Martin's mayonnaise jar -- The sand island drive-in anthem. ; ISBN: 0824824989 ; LCCN: 2001-46287 ; OCLC: 47664934 ; AS NEW
