Exploding Galaxies publisher Mara Coson will be sitting down with writer and literary scholar Cristina Pantoja-Hidalgo to discuss how Filipino women writers have shaped historical novels over the years, among them Linda Ty-Casper! Come join us on March 21, 2025 either online or in the Ateneo campus for the lecture!
This will be the second 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 remaining two lectures are free and open to the public. You may join online and in-person. Registration is required. You may register below:
