Ken Garcia’s Brave Old World

By Rodel Rodis

San Francisco Chronicle’s Ken Garcia devoted his Aug. 11 column to slamming the Board of Supervisors’ resolution to rename Phelan Avenue to Marasigan Avenue.

In his article (“Supervisors replay the name game, PC board members need a history lesson”), Garcia blasted the resolution’s “self-absorbed” new sponsors, Supervisors Gerardo Sandoval and Chris Daly. He denounced their resolution as a “repeat of a legislative burp uttered by former board member Leslie Katz shortly before her departure.”

Emil Amok: Why I Write

449,166.

The mid 400s?

Not bad for a small condo in the Richmond district.

But who’s talking real estate? I’m talking book rankings.

When I last looked at Amazon.com, my book Amok: Essays from an Asian American Perspective, with a foreward by Ishmael Reed, (published by AsianWeek Books) was listed as 449,166th.

That’s enough to make anyone go amok.

Oh, to be No. 1? Heck, I’ll settle to be part of Moby Dick! (Melville’s Bantam Classics version, ranked 6,962).

Books or Sex?
If you had to give up one or the other, which would it be?

Not the Asian Guy; Under the Skin; Military Opression in Hawai’i; “No” to the Vietnamese Flag; Colonialism in China.
