Live Reading & Book Launch of Hilot Means Healer by Jo SiMalaya Alcampo

Set in Manila, during World War II, and drawn from the long tradition of Philippine folklore, legends, and Indigenous spirituality, Hilot Means Healer weaves the tangible with the intangible to tell a story of unexpected bonds formed during cataclysmic change. This interdisciplinary story explores the social and political consequences of war and occupation in the Philippines and its impact through generations.”  – Jo SiMalaya Alcampo, author
