About the author
BUTCH DALISAY, The Philippine STAR
Butch Dalisay likes and collects almost anything older than himself—fountain pens, typewriters, antiquarian books, watches, and midcentury landscapes. A frustrated engineer, he also collects old Macs and Apple phones, and claims to be online 24/7. He lives on the UP Diliman campus with his wife Beng beneath a canopy of mango trees.
