a bejeweled corpse found buried in the Payatas landslide... The title is from a line by one of Fres-Felix's funniest people, brogi di Pogi, karate teacher. Still shocked from having been kicked in the face by one of his pubescent pupils, he sputters : "Ladies, form a straight circle!" In the words of her mentor, Palanca Hall-of-Fame awardee Butch Dalisay: "Dada Fres-Felix's stories are rich with the details and realities of Filipino urban middle-class life-sometimes sumptuous, often disturbing, always engaging - which she approaches with droll humor, and a deep empathy which comes not only from a familiarity with her subjects, but an artist's appreciation of human frailty."
a teenaged girl being pressured by her mother into getting a nose job
two middle-class matrons staking out their much younger, vampy mother-in-law
This delightful first book by an award-winning author who used to be a banker, presents an interesting gallery of characters : A down-and-out hairdresser caught in the siege of Malañang by the pro-Erap crowd
