At a loss after no longer being able to find delicious Guyabano juice in their local world food store, a plan is quickly hatched and travel booked. The location? The Philippines. The Goal? To hunt down, and devour, a Guyabano fruit. Guyabano Holiday, the titular story of Panpanya's story collection, is just one of the surreal and dreamlike short stories that await you, dear listener! 

This week, Mat is joined once again behind the brains behind Twistwood Tales, AC MacDonald, to discuss this wonderful collection of short stories! We try to define just what qualities make Panpanya's work so special, the grim prospects of eating Balut and how the childlike sense of whimsy is only intensified by their pencil, proxy character.

Show Notes.

Remember to listen to episode 24 for more Panpanya as I talk to Maria Salgado about Invitation From A Crab.

The Danish NYE tradition that is 'Dinner For One'.
