Author: Danton Remoto

Danton Remoto has published a novel called Riverrun, which allowed him entry at last year’s Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference in Middlebury College, Vermont. He has also published three collections of poems in English and Filipino, which was honored with a Gawad Balagtas Achievement Award by the Writers’ Union of the Philippines. He has been writing a column called “Remoto Control” for the last 20 years, and it was also the title of his popular radio show at Radyo 5, which ran for six long years. He is now a Full Professor of English and Head of School at the University of Nottingham in Malaysia. He has published a baker’s dozen of books of his own, and either edited or translated another dozen. When he can tear himself away from administrative work, he can be found writing his second novel, a supernatural tale.
