Ateneo de Manila University
Lost and Found by Rica Bolipata-Santos, published by UP Press, will be launched at the New Rizal Library Building on July 30th.
Back cover blurb:
"In 2005, Bolipata-Santos lost her father, suffered from her son's worsening condtion and found salvation in writing. In 2007, she won the Madrigal Gonzales Best First Book Award for her first collection of essays. The judges called her "provocative and well-shaped essays...luminous little narratives."
In Lost and Found, Bolipata-Santos continues traveling the terrain of the mundane and the domestic, unafraid to find gravitas in the tiniest of experiences. In these 26 articles she wrote for The Philippine Star, Bolipata-Santos trains her eyes on everyday things, using words to transform the ordinary into something revelatory."
