MOI SEEKS TO FUDDLE AND MUDDLE TOI!

NADINE SARREAL WRITES IN:

She was born into poverty. She's a survivor. She's sexual. She's mysterious. She's the writer inside Eileen Tabios' new BDSM/GLBT/OCW/OIC/RP/USA/IMF/DBF/HCMC book of letters home from the diaspora. Bookstores will be fuddled and muddled when they try to shelve Tears of the Laughing Woman because it's so multi-genre, so cross-cultural and pan-discipline that the staff will decide to keep copies by the cash register instead. Abner Ramos of the UP-SICC-RTI department of interstudy academe says, "Ms. Tabios has written 14 books before Tears of the Laughing Woman and each book proves to be a mother or father or uncle or grandaunt to this latest ouvre. Her universally rurban (sic) outlook will draw you in from the first paragraph. Set aside the $22.95, the price of the book in hardcover. It's an investment you will rejoice over for decades to come.
