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.

reviewed Heads by Harry on March 03, 2008 Heads by Harry
I was still at the Writer's Workshop when I first heard Lois Ann Yamanaka read selections from her book, Saturday Night at the Pahala Theatre. A friend played it for me. She had a cassette of Yamanaka reading her poems.
That was over a decade ago.
I don't know why it has taken me so long to read one of her novels. For the time, she was one of the few Asian American poets/writers who presented a more gritty and more human voice. Her characters spoke freely of sex, loss, and drugs.
I thoroughly enjoyed Heads by Harry. The earthy somewhat sardonic(?) tone of the narrator moved the story along well. The dialogue is also particularly effective. Everything fit in place. Details about the past, the present, and the future were well utilized to help further develop the character of the narrator.
