Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
Hagedorn continues her brilliant and mordant inquiry into the tricky relationship between the Philippines and the U.S. in her mesmerizing third novel, her best yet. In a wonderful bit of synchronicity, she fictionalizes the same infamous chapter in modern Filipino history chronicled by Robin Hemley in Inventing Eden [BKL My 1 03], the alleged 1970s discovery of a lost Stone Age tribe by a wealthy, well-connected, and untrustworthy playboy. Hagedorn portrays her self-serving and unreliable champion of indigenous peoples, Zamora Lopez de Legazpi, through the skeptical eyes of several intriguing characters, especially those of Lina, the beautiful young daughter of Zamora's long-suffering cook, whose life intersects with Paz Marlowe's, a journalist of mixed heritage, when they both end up on the jungle set of a risky Hollywood movie, Napalm Sunset, a shrewd take-off on Apocalypse Now. Without once letting up on this electrifying tale's subversive suspense, rich sensuality, emotional precision, and searing satirical humor, Hagedorn performs great feats of social critique by asking what is primitive and what is civilized, tracking the fallout from the Spanish and American occupations of this island nation and illuminating the link between storytelling, image, and power. Whoever controls the discourse and the cameras, rules. Donna Seaman

mysterious, disturbing, alluring
28. Juli 2005
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Such a mysterious, alluring & disturbing book! What is good: the writing. The language. The sense of place. You can feel the heat. Be utterly squashed by the poverty. Be intrigued by the characters. It's even okay that you don't know if the tribe is a hoax or not.
What is annoying: the many characters, and many POVs, so many that it's hard to keep track of them all. It is also annoying that sometimes a section on a certain character is in first person, and sometimes third.
Well worth reading.

A Wild Ride
30. Juli 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
What a ride. In short, it was a rush to read Dream Jungle. The characters are fascinating and the environment and situations these people are in this story are as equally compelling. I can't even begin to describe the book because the characters and plot lines are so layered and complex. It is woven tightly though and in the end, everything makes perfect sense. Jessica Hagedorn is one of the premiere Filipina American writers around--thank you for consistently producing outstanding work!
