This is a translation of the book ‘Laughter with My Father’ a book by Carlos Bulosan, an author from the Philippines. In our society, we do not approve of a relation between a father and his son which is so very free, yet, the many other things in the books like the humour, the naughtiness are the same as in our society. The overall atmosphere is also quiet close to that of ours. I would also say that the readers will find many characters from this book very familiar.
