After thirteen years of living in the U.S., Vince returns to his birthplace,
the Philippines. As Vince ventures into the heat and chaos of the city, he
encounters a motley cast of characters, including a renegade nun, a
political film director, arrogant hustlers, and the country's
spotlight-driven First Daughter. Haunted by his childhood memories and a
troubled family history, Vince unravels the turmoil, beauty, and despair of
a life caught between a fractured past and a precarious future. Witty and
mesmerizing, Leche explores the complex colonial and cultural history of the
Philippines and the paradoxes inherent in the search for both personal and
national identities. 

 

R. Zamora Linmark was born in Manila, educated in Honolulu, and has lived in
Madrid and Tokyo. The recipient of a U.S.-Japan Friendship Commission and
NEA fellowships and twice from the Fulbright Foundation, he has taught, as a
Distinguished Visiting Professor in creative writing, at the University of
Hawai'i at Manoa and University of Miami.
