Description:
Jessica Hagedorn has transformed her bestselling novel about the Philippines during the reign of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos into an equally powerful theatrical piece that is a multi-layered tour de force. As Harold Bloom writes, "Hagedorn expresses the conflicts experienced by Asian immigrants caught between cultures . . . she takes aim at racism in the U.S. and develops in her dramas the themes of displacement and the search for belonging." Jessica Hagedorn is a performance artist, poet, novelist and playwright, born and raised in the Philippines. Her novels include "Dogeaters "(Penguin 1990) which was nominated for a National Book Award and "The Gangster of Love "(Penguin 1996); a short story collection, "Danger and Beauty "(City Lights 2002).
