Bob Ong’s Mac Arthur
June 19, 2007 · Filed Under All Entries
“Mga bata pa kayo. Pag pinaniwalaan namin kayong hindi kayo naglaro ng tubig kahit na basang-basa ang mga damit ninyo, kayo ang niloloko namin. Hindi kayo ang nakapanloloko.”
By Mang Justo to Noel
in Bob Ong’s Mac Arthur
No two Bob Ong books are the same. Each one tackles a different theme and is written uniquely from each other. In this book, we see no Bob telling stories about himself. It is purely fictional inserted with a few mature humor.
Mac Arthur is a short story about four young friends whose lives are far from every parent’s aspiration for their children. Each one of them have their own story to tell over a friendly session of methamphetamine.
With their “wasted” lives and family problems, Bob Ong guides us to see where their individual paths will lead them as they struggle through life for their survival. ((text by iRonnie))
Copies are available in leading bookstores for only PhP100.
