After the body displace water

"In After the body displace water, characters search for warmth in various ways and places -- with alcohol, through love, in memory. A young woman imagines dead, bloated rats under her bed while struggling to understand the traps and temptations of city life. A grandmother brews tea and dreams of Willy Revillame as her husband sings love songs in another part of town. Here, Daryll Delgado employs her fine talent creating a highly sensual world where taste, touch, sight, smell are no mere experiences of flesh but powerful evocations of loss and longing." ( Katrina Tuvera ) "These stories take you under the skin of experience where lurk the raw impulses of lust, anger, fear, boredom, greed, grief. We are ferried unsuspecting into these netherworlds by unreliable actors and narrators. In these subterranean terrains of feeling, and psychic encounters ruled by hints and innuendos, we meet no strangers, we recognize likenesses of ourselves, we find ourselves stripped and unmasked, or discover all the mad disguises we invent to escape truth or responsibility, and thus make reality bearable."
