ALTERNATIVE ALAMAT Book Launch
(Contains “BALAT, BUWAN, NGALAN”)
So, while Alternative Alamat--an anthology of
short fiction that repurposes Filipino myths and legends into modern, 21st
century configurations--has been available in ebook format since December 2011,
it’s only now finally coalescing into an “Expanded Print Edition” via Visprint.
I’ve been
informed by editor Paolo Chikiamco that AA
launches (alongside 3 other new Visprint titles) on July 19, Saturday, at
Powerbooks, Greenbelt.
The entire event
is scheduled from 11AM to 6PM, with the AA
hour slotted for 3PM to 4PM.
At the moment
though, I can’t say with 100% certainty that I’ll be present, but
regardless, please feel free to attend, and if you haven’t encountered AA in its ebook iteration, then you can
grab a dead trees copy of it.
Contained in AA is my contribution, “Balat, Buwan,
Ngalan (A Myth for the 21st Century),” which has very solid
connections to all the work going on in the ‘Verse comic book titles, as well
as my novella Parman (also from
Visprint).
If you’re
following the ‘Verse, or have read Parman
(or both), you may want to check my AA
contribution.

Print Edition,” see here.
