Adrian De Leon
The first memory Adrian De Leon has of his father is when he is four years old. He is sitting in front of his family home in Manila, Philippines, when he sees a man with a military haircut and a collared shirt ascend the stairs before him. In the aftermath of the Marcos dictatorship in the early 1990s, Tatay—Father—had moved halfway across the world to live in a compound in the Arabian Desert. Despite his pedigree as a military officer and a religious scholarship to study in Manila, the best possible place of employment for a Filipino man who needed sufficient wages to support a family was abroad.
A year later, Tatay uproots his family to Canada, where they start a new life in Scarborough. While Tatay struggles to find steady full-time work, Adrian endeavours to assimilate into this new-world neighbourhood
made up of Asian, African, and Caribbean immigrant families. Eventually, Adrian’s father opens a dojo, which becomes a community hub and the place where Tatay teaches and trains his son. The dojo becomes a community hub, and the place where Tatay teaches and trains his son. But as Adrian grows, becoming a rebellious teenager and young adult, so too do the intergenerational conflict and tension.
Acclaimed poet and historian Adrian De Leon has crafted a vivid and visceral journey into the fraught relationship between immigrant fathers and sons. But, above all, Notes from a Wayward Son is a homage to the fierce love of family and the search for forgiveness.
