Killing Time in a Warm Place is narrated by Noel Ilustre Bulaong, a Filipino of author Dalisay's generation, for whom the defining event of their lives was Ferdinand Marcos' declaration of martial law (in 1972), when they were college-age. While the narrative is set in the present, opening with a mature Noel flying back to the Philippines from America for his father's funeral, much of it is made up of reminiscences of his youth, and those years of political and personal rebellion. Despite the reason for Noel's return home, this is not a story of a reckoning with the still-looming shadow of some overwhelming father-figure; though the father is significant -- and, as a former policeman, a double-authority figure of sorts -- Noel's return means facing much more than just his memories of the old man.
