Description: "In Good Company is a celebration of life in Hawai'i, beyond Waikiki and Diamond Head. Its characters work sixteen-hour shifts at airport drive-ins, play pool with cursed hit men, wrestle their high school sweethearts in Chinatown bars. From Manoa to Wai'anae 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." "Collected here for the first time are eight of Cedric Yamanaka's best short stories."--BOOK JACKET.
