Pacific Time 2006-02-23 : Extract: Marianne Villanueva's "Extinction"
Listen Listen (RealMedia stream)
There's not much hope of finding any more survivors of last week's mudslide on the Philippine island of Leyte. It's feared that more than 1000 have died. An entire village was buried in mud, and deforestation over the years is said to have been the cause of the landslide. Deforestation is a constant subject for writer Marianne Villanueva, who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area but returns often to her family in the Philippines. She reads an excerpt from the short story "Extinction."
