—Salman Rushdie
"A super-typhoon of a novel. A Babel of rogues, survivors and shape-shifters. A polemic against corruption and greed. A sassy, swerving mini-series, touched by grace and beauty. A Filipino Bonfire of the Vanities for our beleaguered times. An uncompromising work of art." —DAVID MITCHELL
“Bawdy, fearless, insightful, delightful.” —KAMILA SHAMSIE
“Nobody writes like Miguel Syjuco.” —ELIF BATUMAN
