    Uploaded by

    Andrew Ramos
    Smaller and Smaller Circles is narrated primarily from a third-person omniscient perspective about two Jesuit priests, Gus Saenz and Jerome Lucero, who investigate a serial killer mutilating and murdering young boys in Manila's Payatas Slum. The killer also interjects in tense first-person comments. It explores issues of corruption, poverty, and injustice in the Philippines' imperfect society through its mystery and crime genre realism.
