I'm the author of EASTMAN WAS HERE, a love story, and FROM THE MEMOIRS OF A NON-ENEMY COMBATANT. ...more

The humor in this first novel is nothing to laugh at. Though you’re not really supposed to get that until you’re nearly done.

That’s because in the meantime you’ll be too busy snickering.(Read the review)

Quotes by Alex Gilvarry (?)

“You see, real freedom is something tangible- it's the American's birthright- but it is also something that can be taken away at a moment's notice.”

Alex’s Quotes

“In this funny debut, flashy Filipino fashion designer Boy Hernandez sees his American dream become a nightmare when he’s ensnared in a terrorist plot and shipped to Guantanamo. Gilvarry nails the couture scene, but Boy’s rough journey from Manolo to Gitmo is no joke.”
― Andrew Abrahams

“From the Memoirs of a Non-enemy Combatant is sharply written and wryly witty, touching on the sensitivities and paranoia of post-9/11 America... Combining a Kafkaesque hero with a captivating “coming to New York” story, Gilvarry’s debut is a timely and touching triumph.”
― Stephanie Turza, Booklist
