Pinoy Pod 47
This week, reporter Benjamin Pimentel chats with novelist Peter Bacho, who has explored the Filipino American experience through books such as ''Cebu,'' about a young Filipino American priest, and "Dark Blue Suit and Other Stories,'' about the struggles of Filipino immigrants in the 1920s and 1930s.
His most recently published book "Entrys,'' is about the struggles of a young Filipino-Native American veteran who struggles to rebuild his life after surviving the horrors of the Vietnam War.
It's a sad tale that Bacho says resonates during these times when the country is wrestling with the social and psychological effects of another war. Bacho talks about how he started the book before the beginning of the war in Iraq.
