Duran Duran, Imelda Marcos, and me : a graphic memoir

Arriving in her native Philippines for her beloved father’s funeral, Canadian writer Lorina Mapa begins to reminisce about her youth, growing up as the doted-upon daughter of a well-to-do family, listening to Western pop music and watching classic American films on video. All the while, the Philippines are in tumult as a popular uprising attempts to overthrow the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos and install into the presidency Corazon Aquino, the widow of assassinated congressman Benigno Aquino.
