What is Insurrecto : a Novel about?

Histories and personalities collide in this literary tour-de-force about the Philippines' present & America's past by the PEN Open Book Award–winning author of Gun Dealer's Daughter.Two women, a Filipino translator & an American filmmaker, go on a road trip in Duterte's Philippines, collaborating & clashing in the writing of a film script about a massacre during the Philippine-American War. Chiara is working on a film about an incident in Balangiga, Samar, in 1901, when Filipino revolutionaries attacked an American garrison, and in retaliation American soldiers created "a howling wilderness" of the surrounding countryside. Magsalin reads Chiara's film script & writes her own version. Insurrecto contains within its dramatic action two rival scripts from the filmmaker & the translator—one about a white photographer, the other about a Filipino schoolteacher.Within the spiraling voices & narrative layers of Insurrecto are stories of women—artists, lovers, revolutionaries, daughters—finding their way to their own truths & histories. Using interlocking voices & a kaleidoscopic structure, the novel is startlingly innovative, meditative, & playful. Insurrecto masterfully questions & twists
