I've been reading "Talking to the Moon", since being introduced to it at Noël Alumit's appearance at B's Mountain of Books ( gotta love that name– straight out of Lake Wobegon ). It's a beautiful read! It takes us into the lives of the filipino community in Los Angeles, one of the diverse cultures that make up this (arguably ) most diverse city in the world. My partner Frank and I divide our time between homes on the hill and in Atwater Village, a section of LA with a large filipino population. To read and gain insight into this culture that I live among, that's more-or-less hiding in plain sight, and yet remains elusive, is a special treat. Alumit sets a lovely but melancholy tone that seems to fit not just the tragic events of the story, but something deeper in the culture. Recommended. Thanks, Noël! Thanks, Eduardo!
