Manila Noir
Manila is not for the faint of heart. Population: over ten million and growing by the minute. Climate: hot, humid and prone to torrential monsoon rains of biblical proportions. The ultimate femme fatale, she's complicated and mysterious, with a tainted, painful past. The perfect, torrid setting for noir. Edited by Dogeaters (Penguin, 1991) author and National Book Award Nominee Jessica Hagedorn, and featuring original stories from a stunning group of multi-award-winning authors.

A Waiting Room Companion
This book gathers essays, explorations, and profiles by celebrated fictionist and editor Angelo R. Lacuesta, written throughout his casual career in creative non-fiction.
