“Book Descriptions: Zea Asis' first book of essays is about a young woman's coming-of-age in the Philippines as bound to the necessity of movement, physical, emotional and intellectual, which become the impetus for the constant discovery of selves, past and present. Through acts of consumption and romantic interludes, across thrift spaces, office spaces, and streets, Asis captures a womanhood that refuses romanticism, and instead revels in the interweaving of grit and grace necessary for contemporary survival.”
