Killing Time in a Warm Place is a novel of growing up in the Philippines during the Marcos years.

Told in the voice of its protagonist, Noel Ilustre Bulaong, the narrative travels through familiar social and literary territory: the coconut groves of Bulaong’s childhood, Manila’s hovels, the Diliman Commune, “UG” safehouses, martial law prisons, and the homes and offices of the petty-bourgeoisie.

It is a story of false horizons, of betrayal, compromise, and guilt, and not incidentally of the contemporary middle-class Filipino’s migration from the village to the metropolis to the outside world.
