This novel is on the one hand a young man’s frustrated attempt to write the great Filipino novel, and on the other, his coming to terms with the futility of his search for his lost mother. Along the way, he is guided and misdirected by some muses and demons to reimagine his personal past without the burden of national history. He will be forced to accept that truth can somehow be in the deceptive, inchoate recreation of memories, without which, the fall seems inevitable.

Halintulad ng kuwento ng buhay ng naging kaibigang masahista sa baywalk, nakipagsapalarang mamuhay mag-isa ni Jaret sa pag-aasam na matakasan ang lagim ng mga bangungot at hilera ng mga trahedyang gumugupo sa kanyang pagkasino. Sa daigdig na ito ng mga gising na malayo sa mahiwagang babaeng wagas niyang sinisinta, maliligaw sa landas niya o siya sa kanila silang mga nilalang na makatutulong sa kanyang makabuo ng kuwento - isang contortionist sex freak, mga birhen at lagalag, filmmaker na mahilig sa mga pahiwatig, at silang bigla na lamang nililindol, namamatay at tumatagos sa pader.Samantalang sa mundo ng mga nananaginip, isang binatang makata ang sumusulat ng isang journal ng mga bangungot habang nasa bingit ng bangin. At kasabay ng sandaling maisilang ang isang butas na kuwentong magpapalutang-lutang sa kawalan na magbubunga ng paghahalo ng kung ano ang totoo sa guniguni at ang gising sa himbing ay ang pagkaunawang silang pinangyaring magbuklod kailanma'y hindi na mapaghihiwalay.

In Novel Subjects, Leah Milne offers a new way to look at multicultural literature by focusing on scenes of writing in contemporary works by authors with marginalized identities. These scenes, she argues, establish authorship as a form of radical self-care--a term we owe to Audre Lorde, who defines self-care as self-preservation and "an act of political warfare."

One of Jessica Hagedorn's most daring novels—“a deft and complex tale of corruption, fealty, and integrity” (The Baltimore Sun) In a Philippines of desperate beauty and rank corruption, two seemingly unrelated events occur: the discovery of an ancient lost tribe living in a remote mountainous area and the arrival of a celebrity-studded, American film crew, there to make an epic Vietnam War movie. But the lost tribe may be a clever hoax and the Hollywood movie seems doomed as the cast and crew continue to self-destruct in a cloud of drugs and ego. As the consequences of these events play out, four unforgettable characters—a wealthy, iconoclastic playboy; a woman ensnared in the sex industry; a Filipino-American writer; and a jaded actor—find themselves drawn irrevocably together in this lavish, sensual portrait of a nation in crisis.
