                    [Summary] => It’s no coincidence that National Book Store invited both Gina Apostol, PEN awardee and author of Insurrecto and Gun Dealer’s Daughter, to sit beside Pulitzer-winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen (for 2016’s The Sympathizer) in the Salon Room of Raffles Makati — just as it’s no coincidence that the complicated filming of Apocalypse Now on these shores lies at the (dark) heart of both of their recent novels.

Perhaps since “Apocalypse Now” and “Platoon”, there has been no war film that doesn’t have the sanitized veneer of a Tinseltown product such as Robert Zanuck’s “The Longest Day.” Make no mistake, I love that 1962 film, which has a documentary-drama feel and featured many actors who are actually war veterans in action on that fateful day of June 6, 1944 at Normandy, France.
