The Amazing Adventures of Zsazsa Zaturnnah

by Carlo Vergara (author and illustrator)

Description

A mysterious stone falls from the heavens, granting Ada the ability to transform into Zaturnnah, a superhuman warrior endowed with uncanny strength and remarkable beauty. As Zaturnnah, Ada fearlessly defends a small town from rampaging zombies, power-tripping extraterrestrial Amazons, and…well, you know the drill. Adding color to this simple but riotous tale is the fact that Ada is a homosexual, proprietor of his quaint beauty salon. With his frilly-mouthed assistant Didi and his objet d’amour Dodong, Ada reinforces his belief in acknowledging the decisions of Destiny and begins to explore the potential fullness of life. Zsazsa Zaturnnah is a recipient of the Manila Critics Circle National Book Award. ADVISORY: For mature readers. Contains themes and situations that may not be suitable for young audiences. Reader discretion is advised.
