I am reading “Fifth Avenue, 5 a.m.,” by Sam Wasson. It is about the making of the iconic Audrey Hepburn starrer, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and how Paramount Pictures recast the feminist Holly Golightly character of the Truman Capote novel to suit Hepburn’s squeaky clean personality.

There are three  books, at the moment, on the table near my bed:

 

“Prospects for Peace Under the Aquino Administration,”  published by the Institute for Autonomy and Governance, based at Notre Dame University in  Cotabato, and Konrad Adenauer Stftung;

 

Philippine Quarterly of Culture and Society from University of San Carlos

 

“Rediscovering Jesus,” by Eamonn Bredin and published by Claretian Publications

 

Plus  the  latest issues of  Asian Wall  Street Journal and other papers .

 

Am leafing through “Prospects for Peace” in view of the ongoing  Mindanao peace talks. In the PQCS, there is an article on research into two low-income neighborhoods in Cebu City that caught my eye.

 

Bredin, of course, is the scholar par excellence on people’s “struggle to find language that would be commensurate to their experience on the mystery of Jesus.”
