July 2015 – Gina Apostol

https://ginaapostol.wordpress.com/2015/07

I talk a lot about language in this interview about Gun Dealers’ Daughter. July 22, 2015. March 27, 2016. Because, in my view, a writer’s job is to recognize reflexivity constantly: to wonder why it is we use the words we do. And for a Filipino, that angst is vital: because with our multiple tongues, the fact that a human is a translated being, a split self divided by words, is always in our face. Thanks to Rowan Hisayo Buchanan of Asian American Writers Workshop. Listen to the interview here. Follow Gin...

July 2014 – Gina Apostol

https://ginaapostol.wordpress.com/2014/07

July 27, 2014. August 1, 2014. Wrote and recorded this for NPR a while ago for a canceled series called Wish You Were Here, about places writers remembered. They never published that audio, but an FB message on Juan Les Pins from great friends of mine gave the memory back to me. It was written for radio. The Joy of Life. Tender is the Night. Graham Greene’s haven. Kazantzakis’s chosen exile. A winter refuge where I imagined Fitzgerald working on a problematic manuscript, maybe. Daily we saw the sea.

April 2015 – Gina Apostol

https://ginaapostol.wordpress.com/2015/04

In all conscience, I thought I’d comment. April 26, 2015. March 27, 2016. I was away at conferences during this issue of Anvil and. Over a blogspot piece by Adam David. As I said earlier, I’d post comments when I got home. And not see how closely Dante was appropriating the scene with the shades in Virgil’s. Which in turn appropriated Odysseus’s descent to the underworld in Homer’s. In the case of this anthology, of course, the writers are alive but so is the purloining tradition of art. La Joie de Vivre.
