It is a book that is part story-telling, part autobiography, part meditation, part memory, part history, part sociology, and part manifesto. There are many tones in each of the essays: sorrow, grief, fear, anxiety, enthusiasm, admiration, celebration, remembrance, humour, sarcasm, admonishment. There are chapters on gardens, noodles, toilet paper, God, Twiggy, sex, Zoom, and the Apocalypse. Finally, this book is big on hope for a redemptive future for humanity and a plea to remake our world"--Back cover Del Rosario, Teresita Cruz-. COVID-19 (Disease) Patients.
