'I had started my year as a documentarian. I wanted to tell the truth, to effect change, to make a difference. And up to a point, I had succeeded . . . I am haunted by all the things - big things and little things - that threaten to slip through the cracks, untold, out of history.'
As Jane Tagaki-Little researches the consumption of meat in the American home for Japanese docu-soap, 'My American Wife!', she begins to realise that her ruthless search for a story is deeply compromising her morals.
Meanwhile in Tokyo, housewife Akiko Ueno is diligently preparing the recipes from Jane's programme, struggling to please her husband, and increasingly doubting her commitment to the life she has fallen into. And as Jane and Akiko battle dangerously to assert their individuality, 'My American Wife!' draws them together in a startling story of strength, courage, love . . . and meat.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. When Jane Takagi-Little finally lands a job - producing a Japanese television show sponsored by BEEF-EX, an organization promoting US meat export - she takes her video crew on the road in search of all-American wives, cooking all-American meat. A starving artist, born in Minnesota and relocated (via Tokyo) to New York's Lower East Side, Jane has never considered the kitchen a career move. She hardly expects this cross-country assignment to raise cross-cultural questions - not just about her life, but also about sex, love and fertility in our time. Akiko Ueno, a Tokyo housewife, diligenly prepares the Meat of the Week from the recent episode of My American Wife! A former comic-book illustrator, Akiko is now married to a 'salaryman', the advertising agency rep for BEEF-EX. At his orders she fills out the weekly questionnaire, rating each show on Authenticity, Wholesomeness and Deliciousness of Meat. But Akiko is learning something more than just recipes from Jane's programmes, and slowly, before she realizes it, her live begins to change. Owner's Name inside. Tanned; cover worn and creased; dog-eared. 430 pages. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1599361
