A review by emmakowalski
Manila Noir by Jessica Hagedorn

4.0

this is what happens when people who grew up rich and abroad wrote Philippine setting; it's out of reach so white so not pinoy. it's lacking grit mapapasabi ka na lang talaga ng "anlayo mehn!"

wow a human right may have lacked noir but it's definitely a love story for me!

Why is broken glass even here?!

And I was planning to read the gun dealer's daughter after this but the unintended aspires to be many things and just fell flat #sad

I enjoyed reading the book because of the short story-format but the stories are not what I expected from the word noir
