"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.

Surreal Truths Beyond Fiction [Hagedorn's Novel, Dogeaters]
Apr 19, 2007

Pros: Vividly drawn, realistic (and often, real) characters and scenarios; lively, rich, exuberant prose.

Cons: Surfeit of characters; untranslated vernacular expressions; unexplained cultural references; not an easy read.

Bottom Line: Jessica Hagedorn offers the reader the rare scoop on Philippine socio-political culture and history from both an insider's and outsider's viewpoint, through her vibrant, breathlessly paced Dogeaters.
