Philippine Literature: Some Words with the Wild Woman: A Conversation with Cecilia Manguerra Brainard

I'm looking forward to having a dialogue with the students, professors, and guests of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines on February 9, 2016, from 3-5 p.m.

The program titled, "Some Words with the Wild Woman: A Conversation with Filipino American Fictionist Cecilia Manguerra Brainard," is a take-off from my short story, Woman with Horns, which is part of the literature curriculum at UST. The students have also made some films based on this story - see links at the bottom of this blog entry.
