Die Ilocos-Region im Nordwesten der Philippinen ist voller Widersprüche. In der Kultur der Ilocanos treffen jahrhundertealte Traditionen auf die Einflüsse der modernen Hauptstadt Manila, agrarischer Pragmatismus auf christliche Gottergebenheit. Victor ist ein Kind dieser Welt. Nachdem sein Vater die Familie für eine neue Frau verlassen hat, lebt der Junge mit der Mutter, Bruder Raffy und seinen Großeltern in bescheidenen Verhältnissen in einem kleinen Haus am Quinarayan-Fluss. Die Jahre seiner Jugend sind gezeichnet von familiärer Geborgenheit, aber auch von Verunsicherungen aufgrund des niedrigen sozialen Status der Familie und dem frühen Bewusstsein für seine Homosexualität. Diese zwei Faktoren prägen Victors Leben, dem der Roman bis ins mittlere Alter folgt - in die Metropole, ins Milieu greller Schlagzeilen und des großen Geldes, in düstere Rattenlöcher, trunkene Aha-Momente, schwule Badehäuser und trügerische Episoden des Glücks. Am Ende führt der Weg jedoch zurück nach Ilocos. Wo sich ein Kreis schließt und eine Lücke füllt, aber die alten Widersprüche dennoch bestehen bleiben. Die acht konzisen Kapitel in "Der Junge aus Ilocos" beleuchten schlaglichtartig unterschiedliche Phasen in Victors Leben - von frühen Aufbrüchen über die erste Liebe bis hin zu zweifelhaften Erfolgen und der Ernüchterung danach. In Victors Erfahrungen und Begegnungen spiegeln sich teils die Spannungen der philippinischen Gegenwartsgesellschaft, teils die Biografie des Autors wider. Blaise Campo Gacoscos nahm sich jedoch bewusst Freiheiten bei der Zeichnung seiner Hauptfigur. "Ich habe mich für die Romanform entschieden, weil ich Charaktere erschaffen wollte, die mir selbst helfen, den Sinn des Lebens zu begreifen", schreibt er in seinem Nachwort. Bezeichnenderweise lässt er die Geschichte mit einem lakonischen Witz enden, in dem all das mitschwingt, was den Roman generell auszeichnet - Abgeklärtheit, Melancholie und ein kleines Augenzwinkern.

Looks good but the wall anchors is TRASH!
Size: 3-tier shelves, Size: 3-tier shelves
The product is heavy and sturdy once you get it up completely. The issue I have is with the instructions... 1. The 5/16 drill bit is recommends is WAY TO BIG. The Anchors it comes with will slip right through. The screws that is comes with are WAY TO SMALL for the weight. I recommend getting better ones from the hardware store and painting the screws black for better aesthetics. 2. The instructions say to put it together first then hang it on the wall. That is great so you can see where you want to place it and because it is actually bigger than it looks, but you will need to de-assemble it from the bottom shelf down after you mark where you want to place it, then put that part on the wall, then reassemble it from there, securing the top part to the wall last. The instructions sucked but that is what worked best for me. Another thing is when you first assembling it, you will notice that you will have to unscrew it a bit so the pipes can fast the correct way. This will make it feel flimsy, but it will tighten up when you secure it to the wall. Also, like some people said in previous reviews, some of the black paint did peel off the pipes, not to much for me but it was noticeable if you look at it hard enough.

Love the look of these
Size: 24in-Shelve
I love the look of these. Bought for towel storage over my toilet. They look really classy and I'm so happy with them. However, its important to note that the wall anchors they provide are way too big for the screws. The screws just fall into the inside of the anchor without even being screwed in. So there's no way you could secure the wall unit with the ones provided. We had to replace the anchors with some I already had. Other than that very happy with the quality and look.

Great shelf
Size: 24in-Shelve
I’m a fan! Good quality, sturdy shelf, very easy to assemble and put on the wall. I recommend having a second person to help hold the shelf while you get the first few screws in, just to keep it level. I love the larger shelf space, it gives me a lot more storage for the bathroom.

Great Product!
Size: 3tiers-Shelves, Size: 3tiers-Shelves
This shelf system is an awesome option if you're looking for an industrial/rustic vibe. It's feels super well made and was easy to assemble. The finish on the wood is fantastic! All the hardware for mounting was there and even if you have minimal experience mounting brackets and hardware to the wall - this was still very easy. I especially appreciated the "U" brackets to secure the wood shelves to the posts - that was an unexpected extra that I was very happy to see included. Unfortunately because of space and the way my wife wanted these spaced, we didn't use the third shelf, but we're definitely going to find some place else in the house to mount that later. Overall, if you like this decor - I would definitely recommend this item!

Great textbook. Well laid out and easy to follow
Format: Paperback
Great textbook. Well laid out and easy to follow. I read ahead before any lectures and while I'm very lucky to have a great professor anytime they teach topics from the book I already have a full grasp from the text due to its useful easy to follow nature.
