An unconventional book by award-winning author Glenn Diaz. It was published by Paper Trails.
Braided essay that weaves two things:
- A narrative of a love story that ended in a break up set in Los Baños.
- An exploration of the idea of the forest in Filipino literature, history, and politics.
What makes this work different:
- Experimental use of numbered paragraphs.
- Published “work in progress”
