MONTHLY PERIOD: WRITERS IN CONVERSATION
NORMAN WILWAYCO AND JUN CRUZ REYES
MARCH 25, 2009, BAR OPENS 7PM
Current WOP resident MARTHA ATIENZA takes a back seat as she gives way to ANDREA TÉRAN’S Monthly Period: Writers in Conversation featuring activist from the gutter NORMAN WILWAYCO and venerable Pilipino novelist/academe JUN CRUZ REYES.
Norman Wilwayco delivers drugs, sex, (more sex,) and rock-and-roll, as he and fellow multi-awarded writer Jun Cruz Reyes dissect the Palanca-award winning novel Mondomanila in yet another edition of Monthly Period: Writers in Conversation. The conversation will also focus on Wilwayco’s writing genius after taking the revolutionary road and eventually bagging the grand prize for his recent novel Gerilya in the 2008 Palanca Awards. Risking hosting chores during this volatile and mind-crashing evening is WOP program director Donna Miranda.
Norman Wilwayco, aside from being a multiple Palanca award winner plays bass for a rock and roll band, writes for Filmless Films, and designs websites (Radioactive Sago Project.) He used to write for the popular television show Batibot and has contributed articles to Liwayway, Manila Times and Inquirer. Jun Cruz Reyes, multi-awarded writer and outstanding faculty, is Assistant Professor in the Department of Filipino and Philippine Literature of the UP-Diliman College of Arts and letters. He won the First Prize in the 1998 National Centennial Literary Contest for his novelEtsa-Puwera, and the National Book Award from the Manila Critics Circle in 2000.
