Karinderya Love Songs

John Pucay
4.34/5 (34 ratings)
For those who enjoy crass prose like Bukowski (Women). And a streak of drinking and adventuring like The Sun Also Rises (Hemingway). And writing like Murakami — This novel is likely for you.

Set in the 2020s, the 23-year-old unnamed narrator is recovering from a bad breakup. He meets Kayla, a college freshman he approached at a cafe. And they spend a Viagra-assisted night together. Then they each confess a secret. She had two abortions. And he can't get an erection unless his partner is cheating on someone by sleeping with him.

The narrator, Kayla, and R — a friend who broke off her engagement — spend drunken nights in Metro Manila and Baguio City. They purge all that alcohol through mountain excursions. And they struggle against a modern dating landscape akin to a Filipino karinderya: Bland, readily-available food that gorges but doesn't sate.
