A sailor with the half-ironic name of Hiro, the mixed-race son of a Japanese woman and an American hippie, is persecuted at home in Japan as a butter-stinker. In an attempt to improve his life, he jumps ship and swims to Georgia, where he hopes to find acceptance. Instead, he encounters snakes, rednecks, and the mad residents of an artist`s colony. And before long the US Immigration Service is after him. A climax in the Okeefenokee Swamp seals the hapless Hiro`s dubious fate. T.C. Boyle`s fourth novel is a black comedy, and a uniquely American tragedy.
