520 "Filipino-American Christina "Ting" Klein has just
traveled from New York to Manila, both to escape her
imminent divorce, and to begin research for a biography of
Timicheg, an indigenous Filipino brought to America at the
start of the twentieth century to be exhibited as part of
a 'human zoo.' It has been a year since Ting's last visit,
and one year since Procopio "Copo" Gumboc swept the
elections in an upset and took power as president.
Arriving unannounced at her aging Aunt's aristocratic home,
Ting quickly falls into upper-class Manila life-family
gatherings at her cousin's compound; spending time with
her best friend Inchoy, a gay socialist professor of
philosophy; and a flirtation with her ex-boyfriend Chet, a
wealthy businessman with questionable ties to the regime.
All the while, family duty dictates that Ting be
responsible for Laird, a cousin's fiancé, who has come
from the States to rediscover his roots. As days pass,
Ting witnesses modern Filipino society languishing under
Gumboc's terrifying reign. To make her way, she must
balance the aristocratic traditions of her extended family,
seemingly at odds with both situation and circumstance, as
well temper her stance towards a regime her loved ones are
struggling to survive. Yet Ting cannot extricate herself
from the increasingly repressive regime, and soon finds
herself personally confronted by the horrifying realities
of Gumboc's power. At once a propulsive look at
contemporary Filipino politics and the history that
impacted the country, The Human Zoo is a thrilling and
provocative story from one of our most celebrated and
important writers of literary fiction"--|cProvided by
