Noel Alumit was born in Baguio City, the Philippines and grew up in LA’s Historic Filipinotown. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama from the University of Southern California and his Master of Divinity in Buddhist chaplaincy at the University of the West. Alumit is both an author of novels and short stories, as well as a painter and a photographer.
Music Heard in Hi-Fi and Other Stories (Rebel Satori Press) is the third book by bestselling author Noel Alumit. This moving collection of short stories explores the lives of those straddling the United States and the Philippines. These memorable
characters are both tender and illuminating: a grief stricken man returns to a country that only knew him as a woman, an aspiring Broadway star is haunted by her past, a husband rebuilds a life after his wife leaves him, and a boy testifies against the man who abused him. Brave and thoughtful, these stories delve into the most universal of themes—family, community, love and understanding.
