Synopsis
The novel "Killing Time in a Warm Place" tells of a childhood and youth in the Marcos period, of people and families living in the countryside or in cities, always on the go for a better work, a better life for themselves and their children. Most arrange themselves with dictatorship, with the ubiquitous police violence and corruption; they follow the Marcos regime even when martial law is proclaimed. But there is also political resistance, starting from students who join the Maoist movement, partly go their own risky ways to combat the dictatorship. Dalisay describes this situation from the eyes of young people who are in search of ideals, sacrifice their careers, are observed, arrested and also tortured, then have to spend long years in camps until the regime finally collapses under mass protests. The novel unfolds a vast and colourful panorama about life in the Philippines, about dulling in a dictatorship, about political awakening and also about errors and turmoil of student resistance. And all in a vibrant, multifaceted language, seasoned with a lot of irony and wit.

Gebunden. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Leichte Lagerspuren -Der Roman »Killing Time in a Warm Place« erzählt von einer Kindheit und Jugend in der Marcos-Zeit, von Menschen und Familien, die auf dem Land oder in Städten wohnen, immer auf dem Sprung nach einer besseren Arbeit, einem besseren Leben für sich und ihre Kinder. Die meisten arrangieren sich mit der Diktatur, mit der allgegenwärtigen Polizeigewalt und der Korruption; sie folgen dem Marcos-Regime auch noch dann, als das Kriegsrecht ausgerufen wird. Es gibt aber auch politischen Widerstand, ausgehend von Studentinnen und Studenten, die sich teils der maoistischen Bewegung anschließen, teils eigene riskante Wege gehen, um die Diktatur zu bekämpfen. Dalisay beschreibt diese Situation aus den Augen junger Menschen, die auf der Suche nach Idealen sind, ihre Karriere opfern, von Militär und Geheimpolizei beobachtet, verhaftet und auch gefoltert werden, dann lange Jahre in Lagern verbringen müssen, bis das Regime unter Massenprotesten endlich zusammenbricht. Der Roman entfaltet ein gewaltiges und buntes Panorama über das Leben auf den Philippinen, über das Abstumpfen in einer Diktatur, über politisches Wachwerden und auch über Irrungen und Wirrungen des studentischen Widerstands. Und das alles in einer lebendigen, facettenreichen Sprache, gewürzt mit viel Ironie und Witz.; Litprom-Bestenliste Weltempfänger Winter 2024 180 pp. Deutsch. Seller Inventory # INF1001488929
