The Macanese Pro-Wrestler's Cookbook

Culinary adventure intertwines with Macau's eccentric identity.

Think of Macau as a vibrant backdrop to Zeke Oliveira's life—a place as eclectic and mysterious as the recipes in a pro-wrestler's cookbook. Imagine the intrigue when a search for truth after a friend's murder leads you into the underbelly of this dazzling city. It's not just about the fight in the ring; it's about the fight for identity amidst a fusion of cultures, crime, and cuisine. This book stirs the pot of adventure with a dash of social insight, flavored with the exotic essence of Macau.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.
