Mondomanila (novel)

How I Fixed My Hair After a Rather Long Journey is Norman Wilwayco's triple Palanca-winning novel, which won in 2002; short story, which won in 2000; and screenplay, which won in 2003. Its original title is in Tagalog: Kung Paano Ko Inayos Ang Buhok Ko Matapos Ang Mahaba-haba Ring Paglalakbay. The book, however, is commonly but unofficially also called Mondomanila due to the success of the film Mondomanila, which is very loosely based on the story. Published in 2005 by Kamias Road's Automatic Writings, the book How I Fixed My Hair After a Rather Long Journey became a critical success, receiving praise for its unflinchingly honest portrayal of life in the slums.

The adaptation of the novel starring Tim Mabalot was released in 2012. Called Mondomanila, the film is directed by Khavn. It premiered at the 41st International Film Festival Rotterdam in January 2012. The screenplay was co-written by Khavn and Wilwayco.
