One of Jessica Hagedorn's most daring novels-"a deft and complex
tale of corruption, fealty, and integrity" (The Baltimore Sun) In a
Philippines of desperate beauty and rank corruption, two seemingly
unrelated events occur: the discovery of an ancient lost tribe
living in a remote mountainous area and the arrival of a
celebrity-studded, American film crew, there to make an epic
Vietnam War movie. But the lost tribe may be a clever hoax and the
Hollywood movie seems doomed as the cast and crew continue to
self-destruct in a cloud of drugs and ego. As the consequences of
these events play out, four unforgettable characters-a wealthy,
iconoclastic playboy; a woman ensnared in the sex industry; a
Filipino-American writer; and a jaded actor-find themselves drawn
irrevocably together in this lavish, sensual portrait of a nation
in crisis.
