To welcome 2009, we are reviving the Author of the Month feature, which we unfortunately kind of abandoned last year due to several things that we’d rather not bore you with. We hope that this little corner of cyberspace, this time, will be much more interesting, informative and worthwhile, specially all things Anvil book authors and artists and Philippine literature and the book industry in general.
We start the year with a short feature on BENJAMIN PIMENTEL, author of the recently launched Pareng Barack: Filipinos in Obama’s America where he talks about Obama’s “incredible march to the American presidency and how Filipinos responded to his stunning campaign and victory.” The book is also about “the Filipino journey in America, how it has intersected, sometimes collided, with those of other communities, and how it has taken a dramatic turn as America enters a new era of anxiety and hope.” (pls. see next entry)
