The Macanese Pro-Wrestler's Cookbook




Macau, a redolent, overcrowded hive of faded Portuguese culture, glossy American casinos, triad underworld, and overarching Chinese governance. It's what hapless, lovelorn Zeke Oliveira calls Home. But when his best friend is murdered, Zeke confronts the systems of money, race, and class that are tearing his home apart.

Macau, that redolent, overcrowded hive of faded Portuguese culture, glossy American casinos, and overarching Mainland governance is what hapless, lovelorn Zeke Oliveira calls home. An eccentric himself, for the most part he's at ease with the city's eccentricities, but when his best friend is murdered Zeke goes on a search for those responsible, a search that takes him into an undercurrent of crime beneath the city that he never knew existed. An adventure, a social commentary and an unconventional cookbook, The Macanese Pro-Wrestler's Cookbook is ultimately the portrait of a man struggling to find a balance between the cultural identity he has inherited and his own individual destiny.
