Apostol Gina - Bibliolepsy - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Gina Apostol's debut novel available for the first time in the US tells of a young woman caught between a lifelong desire to escape into books and a real - world revolution. It is the mid - eighties two decades into the kleptocratic brutal rule of Ferdinand Marcos. The Philippine economy is in deep recession and civil unrest is growing by the day. But Primi Peregrino has her own priorities: tracking down books and pursuing romantic connections with their authors. For Primi the nascent revolution means that writers are gathering more often and with greater urgency so that every poetry reading she attends presents a veritable Justice League of authors for her to choose among. As the Marcos dictatorship stands poised to topple Primi remains true to her fantasy: that she 'a vagabond from history a runaway from time can be saved by sex love and books.
