dean is a brodernist?

a lot of filipino books r missing #shame

solenoid by mircea cartarescu is just one of a kind. such an indescribable experience.

it's.... something hahaha i think the vibe is very similar to khavn's experimental films. i think my tip is: remove your expectations of what a novel is (esp in terms of plot, although u could argue that there is one) and just enjoy the experience here's a snippet:

GREATEST OPENING LINES IN CONTEMPORARY PHILIPPINE LITERATURE WRITTEN IN FILIPINO

early 20s, unemployed, changing the trajectory of my life

one of gelacio guillermo’s best, i think

since people r posting their theses, here's mine where i studied the form of contemporary experimental filipino novels which is tied to the current marcos jr. regime i had so so so so so much fun

i'm so ready for this behemoth

hahaha

what a memorable reading year

he's just like me fr

oh wow

Mabilisang salin sa tulang "Dekada '70" ni Edgar Maranan. I love this poem so so much! NEVER AGAIN!

antimarcos (2024) by khavn i'm still missing a lot of references, but i think i'm doing well so far

god, what an amazing way to start a poem... this is my first time reading patricia smith---what a poet... still haunted by "undertaker"

finally decided to read praiseworthy by alexis wright and... "The old grief haze cuts a powerful image from forty thousand feet up in the sky where ancestral serpents roamed through the remnants of migrating angels..." UNBELIEVABLE PROSE
