Anlässlich des Ehrengastauftritts der Philippinen auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025 begibt sich Literatur.Review auf eine literarische Reise durch das Archipel – von Manila nach Naga City, von Cavite bis Santa Monica.
Axel Timo Purr trifft Autor:innen, die auf Filipino, Englisch und Bikol schreiben – über Selbstbestimmung, Sprache, Familie, Korruption, Liebe und den Mut, den eigenen Geschichten zu trauen.
Entstanden ist ein vielstimmiges Porträt eines Landes, das zwischen Vergangenheit und Zukunft, Megacity und Mythos, Science-Fiction und Spiritualität immer wieder neue Ausdrucksformen findet.
Eine Reportage über Literatur als Widerstand, über Erinnerung und Aufbruch – und über die Kraft des Erzählens in einem Land, das sich selbst ständig neu erfindet...
(Verfügbar auf Arabisch, Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch & Spanisch)
