Oral Hystery

A satirical novella assembled entirely from fictional interviews. When a stomach-turning trend goes viral across the Philippines, transcribed conversations with content creators, experts, professors, and researchers try to explain how the unthinkable became normal.

The literal premise is a scalpel: it opens up disinformation, algorithmic appetite, capitalism, and political manipulation — the metaphorical garbage a feed trains us to consume without tasting. It is the debut release from Avenida Books' experimental imprint, Eskinita.
