 Writing Athwart: Adelina Gurrea's Life and Works by Beatriz Álvarez Tardío will be launched at the new Rizal Library's Concourse Area on January 21, 3 to 4.40 pm.
This book is the result of a quest for recovering Philippine identities forged with a melting pot of Spanish materials. Adelina Gurrea was born in the Philippines of Spanish paretns; later, at the age of 25 years, she had to move to Spain with her mother. From both places she contributed to Philippine writing.
This bilingual anthology bridges the readers to and from the many shores of this world. It celebrates the author's original texts and facilitates access to them through its translation into English.
