Myself, Elsewhere by Carmen Guerrero Nakpil

"Myself, Elsewhere" is both an autobiography and a memoir of old pre-war Ermita. It is not the usual compilation of published essays, but entirely new and original material written in a few months in 2006. It covers the period between 1922, the start of what Nick Joaquin called Manila's "most glittering decade" and 1945, the destruction of Manila. The gentility of pre-war Ermita makes for a dramatic contrast to the brutality of the battle that destroyed it.
A Philippine import. Limited copies available.
