Call centre agents and migrant workers, soldiers and charity workers, fresh university graduates and street children ― they all navigate the myriad of avenues in which their desires are entangled within the Philippines' harsh and unforgiving conditions of migration and labour in Rogelio Braga's collection of stories, Is There Rush Hour in A Third World Country? Now translated by Kristine Ong Muslim into English, the collection offers a glimpse of the lives of ordinary Filipinos, told amidst coup d’états, active conflict areas, late-night convenience store rendezvous, and bumper-to-bumper Manila traffic, given a considered dignity and nuance by one of the Philippines’ celebrated playwrights.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Rogelio Braga is an exiled playwright, novelist, essayist, and political activist from the Philippines. They published two novels, a collection of short stories, and a book of plays before they left the archipelago in 2018. Miss Philippines, their first play written entirely in the English language, is under development commissioned by the New Earth Theatre. Braga currently lives and writes in London as a refugee under the Convention.
