Children are told to stay away from the sun so they do not get ""too dark."" Many Filipinos also regard anything ""imported"" to be more special than anything ""local"" or made in the Philippines. The ""beautiful"" people such as actors and other celebrities endorse these skin-whitening procedures.

I'd lived in that place, for a while, as a teenager. I stared at the house, remembering less than I had expected about my teenage years: no good times, no bad times. The new people had made my mother's tiny balcony into a two-storey sunroom. I had forgotten that the bricks of the house were chocolate brown. I pulled up into the driveway, observing the way they had built out on the mid-seventies architecture. It would always be the new house in my head. The new house, the one my parents had built at the bottom of the garden, between the azalea bushes and the green circle in the grass we called the fairy ring, that had been sold thirty years ago. The old house, the one I had lived in for seven years, from when I was five until I was twelve, that house had been knocked down and was lost for good. I thought of turning around, then, as I drove down a wide street that had once been a flint lane beside a barley field, of turning back and leaving the past undisturbed. ![]() I had been driving towards a house that had not existed for decades. ![]() ![]() The big dramatic turns of many romance stories often come off as artificial. The lack of any big dramatic events is actually rather refreshing. The relationship between Lawson and Jack grows steadily, without much in the way of drama. “Imago” is a very sweet and rather uncomplicated romance. The two are thrown together right from the start, and despite being opposites in almost every way, they hit it off and can’t really resist their mutual attraction. ![]() ![]() He is returning to his home in Tasmania, where he’s a park ranger, of the area where Lawson is set to look for his butterfly.

I got that collection because I had loved Transatlantic even more than his best known book, Let The Great World Spin. In his 2015 story collection, Thirteen Ways of Looking Colum McCann wrote a remarkable story called “Sh’khol” which I am surprised is not known more widely.
