Day 2, Workshop Session 3: “Vestments” by Rayji de Guia, fellow for Novel - PanitikanPH
"On his first reading of 'Vestments,' Dr. Butch Dalisay noted, 'Not my thing, but good.' During the workshop session, he echoed the same sentiment in pointing out the remarkable contrast between him—an old, self-admittedly grumpy, and straight man—and de Guia, who is young and queer. However, he praised de Guia’s piece as possessing a 'transcendent quality' that appeals even to people totally unlike her."
