Melbourne Writers Festival

In late August, I'm taking a break from field work, and boardroom work, and roundtable work, and even house work!, to take part in the Melbourne Writers Festival as one of the featured writers, and to reunite with fellows of WrICE 2017.

Here are some information on the events I'll be participating in:

If you're in or around the area, let's catch up and have a drink? :)




Preludes Analysis and Discussions

It's that time of year, when high school students bug me for all sorts of information, advice, answers to homework questions. I'm going to post here instead something I came across, this piece on one of my stories, Preludes, which high school students are being required to read:

Story Analysis

I thought this comment was such a gem:

Question po, posible pang namatay yung husband dahil sa paglason ni Nenita sa kanya? Kasi kun pagiisipan, may background knowledge si Nenita about herbal mixing and concoctions dahil kay beshie, at sinabi rin sa story na gumagawa siya ng “medicinal tea” para sa kanyang husband para isabay sa dinner niya. Kaya kung ganon na ang kalagayan ng utak ni Gng. Nenita posibleng may hinalong kung ano anong sangkap sa “medicinal tea” ni husband na pampalason. Hindi man agad-agad pero little by little para di obvious ang paglason. Haha tama ba ang takbo ng utak ko??
