Title: DEATH BY GARROTE, Looking Back 3
This is a collection of essays from the use of garrote in the execution of the national heroes to mamon, that favorite Filipino pastry and others of the same kind. The writer Carmen Guerrero Nakpil calls Ocampo’s retelling of history as a new genre—“…he has rescued history from the cold, forbidding halls of academe. He has made of history something amusing, entertaining,…as immediate as a newspaper headline, as irreverent as a rapper’s song.”
