TRAVELS (and more) WITH CECILIA BRAINARD: Cecilia Brainard & Linda Ty-Casper Events at Ateneo Literary and Cultural Studies Program

Thanks to Dr. Charlie Samuya Veric for arranging the lovely book launch of Linda Ty-Casper's book, A SMALL PARTY IN A GARDEN: REVISED AND CRITICAL EDITION, sponsored by the Ateneo de Manila University Literary and Cultural Studies Program and the Ateneo Martial Law Museum and Library.

Copies at the launch were sold out but one can find copies of this famous Martial Law protest novella in Amazon

This literary event followed a Conversation between Charlie Samuya Veric and me (Cecilia Manguerra) --- "On Writing, Diaspora, and Translation." I was very impressed at how well-prepared Charlie was, having read a stack of books by and about me. His questions traced my family background, influences, roots, of my development as a writer and publisher. His interview and follow up questions were very comprehensive.

Here is the YouTube Link of the Conversation between Brainard and Dr. Veric

Here are some pictures but there are more. I'll add them here. The photos include pictures of my family and my visit to the Ateneo Art Gallery.

Thanks to the Ateneo folk and visitors who filled the H. Acosta room.

Thanks to my Alma Mater, Maryknoll/Miriam for their support. These students were there: Julia Borres, Danna Engracia, Leianna Lopez, Kimi Vergara, and Ruth Nacional, the Editor of Chi Rho, who will write an article about the events.
