| The Constellations of Greg Brillantes |
Interview
- An Appointment with Andromeda
An interview with Greg Brillantes
- Braving the man's notorious temper, Jonathan Chua interviews the Philippines's least-known master of fiction, who was surprisingly forthcoming on writing, politics, and his position as the country's most eminent fiction editor.
- Conscience, Love, Politics, and Mr. Brillantes
- Astonishingly complex and sophisticated, Gregorio Brillantes's stories have been thrust upon generations of students. Jonathan Chua returns to these and other works and discovers the passion beneath the perfection.
Features
- The Glossy Life
- Four years or articles on bras, blush, and body treatments have taught veteran magazine writer Jennifer E. Adriano that fashion writing is more than a powder puff.
- Shooting from the Hip
- Lita Puyat mows down the scatterbrained art directors, kinetically-challenged models, and abstract expressionist makeup artists that make photographing for glossy magazines frenzied, but also oddly fulfilling.
Workshop
- Writer's Crutch
- They don't purée, they won't frappé, and they may not write for you, but, as Butch Dalisay explains, the best word processors do almost everything else.
- Fast-food Fiction
- Noelle Q. de Jesus discovers that good fiction is good whether written bite-size or in hefty chunks.
Politics
- Ain't No Showbusiness Like Government
- Hugo Yonzon IV launches a philippic against the pompadoured star now playing the role of a lifetime and those that voted him in.
- Trading a Cutaway for a G-string
- The Girondist relates a quaint family tale, waxes about matters sartorial, and puts the catty in their place.
