Stainless Longganisa

Stainless Longganisa is a 2005 semi-autobiography by Bob Ong, and his fifth published work. It follows the style used in Bob Ong's first three publications: the use of contemporary Filipino language to express the author's views on Filipino culture. Unlike the first three books, however, it mainly deals with literature. According to the blurb, it focuses on [translated from the vernacular]: "... stories by leaking pens about the importance of reading, reaching your dreams and the correct way of writing." As of 2009 (the year his seventh book, Kapitan Sino, was released), Stainless Longganisa is currently his latest book written in a semi-autobiographical style.
