  • Summary

  • Jessica Hagedorn, winner of the American Book Award, dives down deep with BOOKSTORM to talk about her novel that has been chosen as a Penguin Classic! The destinies of a varied group of characters--movie stars, department store clerks, the wealthiest man in the Philippines--are intertwined with a beauty pageant, a film festival, and an assassination, in a study of the Philippines under Marcos. We talk about why this book is a classic. Colonialism and its effect on the people. Western and religious influences. The similarities of all people, wealthy and poor, seeking happiness and fulfillment. Does lack of accountable and corruption grow together? Films and their impact upon every society and every people. DO NOT MISS THIS PENGUIN CLASSIC!
