Unusual for me, I was lost after the prologue on this book. I believe I got this on an NPR list of what to read, and it didn't take long to realize the reviewer and I are of disparate opinions. This book, it seems is about a Philippino man who was an author, and who may or may not of been writing a book that may or may not have been upsetting to the politics of the Phillipines, and may or may not have been killed/committed suicide. In any case he is dead. I think it is non- fiction. But, after 30 pages, I just didn't care. So, on to the next. I would have said "too many fish in the sea" but after BP's contribution, I'll just say, too many books on the nightstand.
