Abstract
From the cover:
Ladlad : An Anthology of Philippine Gay Writing is the first book that gathers together the various voices of the gay experience in the country today. It contains poems, essays, plays and stories in English and Filipino by some of our best contemporary writers, most of whom are still in their twenties and thirties.
Ladlad is alternately lyrical and strong, scandalously funny and pungent with melancholy. And yes, there's also erotica here, written with the grace and sensuality of silk. The gay sensibility and imagination have been let loose in these pages - baroque, stylish, dramatic and grand. A book not only for gays but also for those who want to read the most exciting, and certainly the bravest, literature being written today.
