I tore through this novel, picking it up at every spare moment, but the issues it brought to mind stuck with me long after I put it down. From the moment a widow decides to care for a stranger's child in 1968 to that child's adulthood and discovery of her past, the diverse cast of characters display the shift in America's attitude toward people with disabilities over a 40-year period. This will make an excellent book club pick!
Robert's ex-wife Suzy left him abruptly two years ago. He doesn't know why, or why they married at all, only that he misses her like a lost tooth. When she goes missing and her new husband blackmails him into searching for her, Robert thinks he might finally get some answers. The path of his investigation, signposted with uneasy allies and glittering Vegas casinos, reveals that their shared past is thick with ghosts and roars with the echo of the Vietnam War. Dragonfish matches any of the best in the ranks of noir novels, and it's a spellbinding meditation on migration, loss, and love.
This collection of short stories drops you in at different points in time and warps reality. Sometimes comic, sometimes edged in darkness, Joaquin examines colonial history, myth, modern Philippines and diaspora, and the dynamics between generations and space. Totally refreshing to read modern Philippine literature.
