Ka Gaby : nom de Guerre / Paulino Lim. - 157 pages 23 cm.
Paul Lim recreates the life of a young woman growing up in the Philippines in the 1950's and 1960's. The tension between the pressures of traditional Catholic education and the influences of Western popular culture are vividly evoked, saints always vying with american rock and roll and Hollywood movies. However, the most important thematic conflict in the novel resides in the tension between the individual's desire to make a religious commitment to relieve the suffering of the poor and the compelling need to engage in social revolution to eradicate the causes of that poverty.
