--But they were corrupt, Father!
--They were human, my child. And if we were to reject all worldly authority for that reason, we would have to reject everything: marriage and government and society; the family, the state and the church. We would have to abolish the world.

Randy,
You should have joined our book discussion of the novel. We'll be discussing Achebe's Things Fall Apart next. If you want to join the egroup for the book club, send blank e-mail to inmediasres-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
BTW, for the longest time, I was searching for a Filipino fitness blog. I thought there was none, but there you are. Nice to know there's somebody who goes to the gym and reads Nick Joaquin.Mens sana in corpore sano , right?
I wish I were there to join in your discussion. Reading TWWH2N is a different kind of journey. It was a difficult read for someone like me has short attention span. At the end of the novel, however, one ( I do ) finds a different kind of awakening, maybe shocking, but a kind of 'closure, or like what others say : "the ring is closed".
I really enjoy reading the TWWH2N!
there are lots of flashbacks in the story but it makes me more concious and beware of the happenings. There is suspense and you are thinking why the woman had two navels but still you have to read it to find out!! check out the story, "the woman who had two navels" by a popular Filipino aithor Nick Joaquin.
The Woman Who had Two Navels, is a really great short story, as my teacher told me!
As I have read it, i realizes that the conflict of the story is in the arguementation and the fight between Love and political problems. The story is all about Connie Vidal who said to be, the woman who had two navels. She was married to Macho Escobar who is the former lover of her mother, Concha Escobar. Concha sacrifices her love to Macho just for the happiness of her daughter who wants to be with Macho. The climactic point of the story is where Father Tony Monson and company, saw Connie in the Tovarich naked. Then they want to see if Connie really had two navels, so that her problems will be solved because she is hiding from the truth or reality. Connie tell that she had two navels because she wants to escape the political issue, that her father (a governor) is stealing money or taxes from the people. 5th chapter of the story: Connie's life was in danger because her car was accidentally fall in the cliff and suddenly burned up with fire. Thanks to God that Connie was safe beacause she escape from the car before it was totally burned. But as I have read in the Novel, her husband Macho Escobar is looking for the body of Connie beacause he knew Connie was dead that's the big issue that he heard from others. But still Macho didn't believe them... the ending is quite good, but I didn't really understand the story well that's why I have to read the story (The Woman Who had Two Navels) again and afain. I hope you'll understand the summary of the Novel TWWH2N.
