Santos available to contemporary readers and students of Philippine literature. Published by Erehwon 20 years ago in 1965, Villa Magdalena is Santos' first novel. It was written under a Rockefeller Foundation grant at the University of Iowa writers Workshop where Santos later taught as Fulbright Exchange Professor for six years. The human flesh inmetaphor is a favorite theme of Santos which pervades all his novels. Villa Magdalena is the most sexual of his fiction. It is the story of the wealthy and landed Conde family, beautiful, proud, and doomed; and the Medalladas, leather merchants who rise from poverty to riches and power, plagued by the smell that clings to their product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ New Day Publishers, 1986\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003ePaperback ‏ : ‎ 288 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 9711002418\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-9711002411\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.11 pounds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Day Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45131095638182,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/91GUF_I69HL._SL1500.jpg?v=1713048035"},{"product_id":"what-the-hell-for-you-left-your-heart-in-san-francisco-a-novel-by-bienvenido-n-santos","title":"What The Hell For You Left Your Heart in San Francisco: A Novel by Bienvenido N.
