520			_aClassic Oriental Love--as in the tale of a Japanese girl who asked her Filipino lover neither marriage nor even affection but simply the permission to serve him and slave for him until he should find himself a wife. Modern Cosmopolitan Love--as in the glamorous affair between a young Filipino sportsman and an international beauty that had for settings Manila, Long Beach, and an old city of the Conquistadores. Tragic Cold-War Love--as in the drama of the Displaced Person from behind the Iron Curtain and the ballet dancer who chose to share with him, in Madrid and in Manila, his Dark Night of the Soul. These are among the portraits of lovers collected in this album of true love stories. Plus the portrait of a hip chick from then Swinging London as she discourses indelicately on a most delicate topic: the Filipino as Lover. (Back cover of the book)
