From Publishers Weekly:
This is a provocative novel about a Filipino who, on the eve of the recent revolution, returns home after living in the United States for 13 years. Ty-Casper, author of Awaiting Trespass, traces the man's inner thoughts as he gropes for meaning in a land pervaded by corruption and incongruities of nightmarish proportions and where the violence of the dying regime is a principle of life. For Johnny Manalo, the Philippines are familiar yet strange, and rather than being galvanized into activism he suffers from self-admitted political impotence. Dreaming of flight and freedom, he finds that he merely has wings of stone. The narrative ends with the destruction of a squatter camp in a terrifying conflagration, an occurrence that poses a question about the future of the Philippines: will life and rebirth emerge from the chaos and flames?

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Johnny Manalo-a Filipino who has lived for years in the United States, sometimes illegally-returns home for a brief visit during the last years of the Marcos dictatorship.From his landing on the Manila tarmac where opposition leader Benigno Aquino was gunned down, through jetlagged reunions with family and friends, Johnny finds himself an alien in his own country, unable to grasp the physical, moral, and spiritual corruption that--from Marcos and his wife 'Madame' on down--have consumed the nation's soul.If Ty-Casper's earlier, brilliant novel Awaiting Trespass emphasizes contemplation, redemption and hope, Wings of Stone gives a nightmare picture of the mindless violence of martial law and the possible fire-storm of civil war. Sadly, since the Marcos regime was toppled in 1986, the triumph of democracy has faded, and the situation in the Philippines today remains as Ty-Casper so powerfully describes it here.
