Brownout On Breadfruit Boulevard

Paddleless Press, 1995. Standard. Paperback. Very Good. Outline:- Brownout On Breadfruit Boulevard is the most entertaining and controversial of Mo`s five novels. Wildly violent, raunchy and hilarious, the story follows the career of Victoria Init - the consort of a middling Philippine politician who should be entering her prime of life. Distracted by an ambition to put her dusty provincial fiefdom on the wider cultural map, she becomes enmeshed in a series of complex events as horrific as they are hilarious, intertwining gun law and political correctness and a wide cast of international characters. Set in Macau, the Phillppines, Japan, and New York, Mo`s brilliant novel can be read as a revenger`s tragedy, a comedy of polygot manners, or as the newest instalment in his candid commentary on the waxing and waning of the struggle between East and West.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Paddleless Press The date of this copy is 1995 booksalvation have grade it as Very Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
