Interdisciplinary scholar Paul Nadal will be discussing the life and works of the ingenious and enigmatic writer, Wilfrido D. Nolledo! His cult-classic 1970 novel, But For the Lovers, was revived in 2023 by Exploding Galaxies. The lecture will be held on April 23, 2025 at the Ateneo de Manila University Campus. Come join us!
This will be the third of a three-part joint lecture series titled “States of the Filipino Novel” presented by Manila-based publishing house Exploding Galaxies and the Ateneo de Manila University’s Literary and Cultural Studies Program, in coordination with Kritika Kultura and PLUME. The lecture series explores the contexts and prospects of the Filipino novel at home and in the global diaspora. It revisits the foundational works in Philippine literature, hoping to revise and expand the canon, with a special focus on the so-called lost classics. The lecture series aims to bring the key texts in Philippine literature to the attention of new readers, creating opportunities for specialists, publishers, sellers, and readers in the country and beyond.
The lecture is free and open to the public. You may join online and in-person. Registration is required. You may register below:
