Killing Time in A Warm Place
Posted by admin on Sep 29, 2009 in Essays, Philippine fiction
This contemporary Philippine fiction by Jose Y. Dalisay Jr., retells retained memoirs of its main character, Noel Ilustre Bulaong, from childhood in a beachside village named Kangleong in a Visayas island, to the life of an activist during the first quarter storm, to hardship in detention camps during Martial Law, and life and inner struggles of a renewed man who took side with the government in the era of the New Society.
The recollection took place during an airplane ride of Bulaong on his way back to the Philippines to attend the burial of his father. Bulaong was seated beside an American Information Technology (IT) entrepreneur on his way to do business in the Philippines, when he started the vivid recollection.
