Byron: The One Lung Filipinomenon

Bridging multiple genres, Byron: The One Lung Filipinomenon is a story of Byron Thomas, an 18-year old openly gay student in Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Enthralled with a fantasy of the American Dream, he is convinced beyond a doubt that he was born in the wrong country, and, with his parents’ blessing, he immigrates to the US. Finally free from suppression and the religious society of his homeland, Byron is able to start exploring his sexuality, while also dealing with feelings of inadequacy, the challenges of living alone, and fears of being an immigrant in a foreign land.

“I’m not an avid reader but every word paints a vivid scene and it truly entices me to keep reading. It brings nostalgia and I can relate to all the themes. The regrets of not being true to myself earlier on and not being out in the open sooner.”

“I wasn’t aware of lenticular book covers before. I like its uniqueness. I really like the library check out card inside the back cover with the personal handwritten note.”
