In her introduction, Conchitina Cruz says of the book: “The charms of the geek are many, and this, Carljoe clearly knows … rather than go by way of encyclopedic knowledge and that bewildering capacity for obscure detail for which geeks are known, (Carljoe) plays up the social ineptitude and predisposition to clunky situations set off by a series of unfortunate events for which geeks are also known … Ah, geeks. What’s not to love?”
The author taught at the Creative Writing program of U.P. Diliman and he was a fellow at the recent U.P. Writing Workshop in Baguio City. He is currently a full-time writer and he has published short stories in the Philippines Free Press and an essay in the local edition of Playboy magazine.
