Fiction
In Dogeaters, Jessica Hagedorn has transformed her
best-selling novel about the Philippines during the Marcos
reign into an equally powerful theatrical piece that is a
multilayered, operatic tour de force. As Harold Bloom writes
"Hagedorn expresses the conflicts experienced by Asian
immigrants caught between cultures...she takes aim at racism
in the U.S. and develops in her dramas the themes of
displacement and the search for belonging." "As sharp and fast as a street boy's razor" (The New York
Times Book Review), Dogeaters is an intense fictional
portrayal of Manila in the heyday of Marcos, the
Philippines' late dictator. In the center of this maelstrom
is Rio, a feisty schoolgirl who will grow up to live in
America and look back with longing on the land of her youth.
