hi... would you please help me to summarize and interpret the novel "the woman who had two navels"? please... i just really need it.... thanks a lot.... you can send it in my e-mail add.. thanks... tweety_looneytoones@yahoo.com
or lynnepink29@yahoo.com... thank you po talaga....
sorry but I cant summarize because I've read the novel a long time ago and, frankly, I don't remember the details of the novel too well for me to give a meaningful summary.
Anyway, for whatever help you may find this, the woman who had two navels is basically Nick Joaquin's rendering of the Filipino search for national identity. The two navels stand for our American and Hispanic progenies and our confusion vacillating between the two.
Here's a teaser: the novel also takes place in Hong Kong, right? so is there a Sinic element to our national heritage, and must we look into it to make the two navels one?
Anvil in 2003 released a collection of Joaquin's essays entitled Culture and History. Reading the essays will tell you exactly what the novel means plus you get to know Joaquin's personal feelings about the matter.
The book should be available in National Bookstore or Powerbooks.
You should really read The woman who had two navels yourself. It's really very short, just a novella. Surely, if we all have time to gawk at Pinoy Big Brother, we should be able to spare a few hours in the company of Nick Joaquin.
Books assigned for us to read will do us good. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
