The Kobayashi Maru of Love (4th Edition)

The Kobayashi Maru of Love

By Carljoe Javier

ISBN: 971-0545-17-5

Creative Non-fiction novel

SRP:  Php200.00

Language: English

The Kobayashi Maru of Love is a book about love, in all its maddening, inscrutable, exquisite permutations: requited, unrequited, elusive, gone missing, left for dead, held hostage, lost, found. But it is ultimately a book about women, one woman, at least, and at first, then several others, gorgeous and fleeting and elusive and imaginary, and the severities of the pull they have on our grotty, awkward male selves... Self-help, diary entries, encyclopedia of boy things, stumblebum comedy of manners, rom-com gone wrong, RPG walkthrough, horror story. The Kobayashi Maru of Love is all this and funny as all hell, too.

The ground gives way. A ditch suddenly presents the gift of gravity. And I embrace it. I fall fast. Hard. I hit the dirt. Rather, it hits me. It twists my foot like a wet twig. I lie in the ditch: foot hurting and back aching. Too tired to get up, too messed up to try. So I stay down. And let it all sink in. All of it. Today, I am Raymund Galang. I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up. I close my eyes. I empty my head of all my thoughts. Until there is nothing left to think about.
