More Details
"A new life is riskier than the old one as any tatterdemalion survivor will tell you," writes Carmen Guerrero Nakpil in "Legends & Adventures," referring to herself. Recounting her post WWII life, as a war widow, reporter, newsgal, editorial columnist, occasional public servant and indentured Marcos official, Guerrero Nakpil renders her personal history to the music of the time between 1946 and 1983. The legends involve Imelda Marcos, Gina Lollobrigida, Manansala, Magsaysay, Deng Shiao Ping, Khaddafy, Chino Roces, Ninoy Aquino, Yevtushenko and a ratful of others. The adventures, described with singular wit and reflectiveness, take place in newsrooms, nightclubs, communes, snow-covered mountaintops, derelict palaces and the new wonders of the world. "Legends & Adventures" is the sequel to the much admired first volume of the Guerrero Nakpil memoirs, "Myself, Elsewhere."
