From the mind behind SPOT.ph’s This Is a Crazy Planets blog and book series comes another must-read that’s meant to raise questions, inspire action, and encourage thought.

Summit Books proudly presents Lourd de Veyra’s Little Book of Speeches, the latest collection of intellectually stimulating, riotously funny reads from the TV personality, Radioactive Sago Project singer, SPOT.ph blogger, and Palanca Award-winning writer who has carved out a name for himself as one of the most compelling voices of his generation.  

Lourd de Veyra’s Little Book of Speeches compiles 23 acerbic and insightful sermons delivered by the writer at various events where he was invited to speak, including two new speeches written just for the book: “Sermon sa Mga Fashyown,” which you can read on the author’s SPOT.ph blog, and “Pangks Nat Die: Sa Mga Punks ng Pilipinas.” Lourd de Veyra’s Little Book of Speeches also contains a foreword by Rock Ed Philippines founder and Lourd’s friend, Gang Badoy, and features cover design and illustration by SPOT.ph art director Warren Espejo.

Whether originally intended for an audience of students or professionals, whether written in well thought-out prose or stream of consciousness style, Lourd’s speeches all offer commentaries on life, work, and society that deserve a listen.
