Dream Jungle

<b>One of Jessica Hagedorn's most daring novels--a deft and complex tale of corruption fealty and integrity (<i>The Baltimore Sun</i>)</b> <p/>In a Philippines of desperate beauty and rank corruption two seemingly unrelated events occur: the discovery of an ancient lost tribe living in a remote mountainous area and the arrival of a celebrity-studded American film crew there to make an epic Vietnam War movie. But the lost tribe may be a clever hoax and the Hollywood movie seems doomed as the cast and crew continue to self-destruct in a cloud of drugs and ego. As the consequences of these events play out four unforgettable characters--a wealthy iconoclastic playboy; a woman ensnared in the sex industry; a Filipino-American writer; and a jaded actor--find themselves drawn irrevocably together in this lavish sensual portrait of a nation in crisis.
