Ricky Lee: World meets AMAPOLA

I blog and read blogs but I never like reading, if you know what I mean. :)
Which leads it to the idea that I only make time to those that can give me a good laugh,
no-blink reading and well, makes me touch myself (Haha!).
Like Pamhinta-X of Louie Cano.

Ricardo “Ricky” Lee has again put on his humor cap with his latest novel “Si Amapola sa 65 na Kabanata” focusing on a gay manananggal’s life story. Interestingly, Lee said it is a “political comedy.”

"Tungkol sa kalagayan ng bansa at ng mga Pilipino noong 2010 sa punto de bista ng baklang manananggal na may attitude. Si Amapola ay isang impersonator na naging manananggal. Realitistic na fantastic. Like sinabihan siya ng isang pulis na noranian na ikaw ang itinakdang magliligtas sa Pilipinas at matatanggap na din ng mga tao ang mga manananggal," he said of the story.

Lee is mostly known for writing drama screenplays such as “Himala” and “Anak.” But in 2009, he published his first novel “Para Kay B (O kung paano dinevastate ng pag-ibig ang 4 out of 5 sa atin)” a funny novel about love.

Lee claims that “Amapola” is even funnier, though at the same time more serious. He said he often found himself laughing while writing the novel.

The book will be launched on Sunday, Nov. 27 at the SM Skydome, SM North, Quezon City and will be hosted by Ai Ai delas Alas and Eugene Domingo.

See you there!
