The first year in graduate school abroad-often in the West-is always a memorable one. For some Asians, including Filipinos, It may even be traumatic. This personal account by academic, fictionist, and graphic novelist Emil Flores is set in Virginia Tech, scene of the bloody massacre of 2007, which shocked the otherwise calm, even bucolic campus only a decade after the time recorded here. This latest contribution to the growing body of creative nonfiction in the country is one which will resonate with many readers. A humorous, nostalgic memoir, it should also prove both interesting and valuable to students planning to follow that road.
