About Ramon
Ramon Angeles is a seasoned journalist based in Hong Kong, known for his insightful coverage of socio-cultural and economic issues. Before settling in Hong Kong, Angeles played a pivotal role in the evolution of Myanmar's media landscape, launching an English-language newspaper in 2014 during a significant transitional period as the country emerged from decades of military rule. His international experience is further bolstered by his previous work with prominent publications in the United States, such as the Star-Ledger in New Jersey and the Associated Press in New York City.

Angeles' reporting often sheds light on underreported stories, such as the opium production in Myanmar's Shan State, where he provided in-depth coverage of the local farmers' struggles and the broader implications of the drug trade. His journalistic curiosity also extends to cultural phenomena, exemplified by his analysis of the love locks tradition in European cities and its impact on urban aesthetics and tourism.

In addition to his focus on current affairs, Angeles has a keen interest in literature and its intersection with culture and identity. He has highlighted significant works like Elena Gorokhova's memoir 'A Mountain of Crumbs,' offering readers a lens into the personal narratives that reflect on immigration and cultural exchange. Angeles' diverse body of work underscores his commitment to exploring complex issues with nuance and depth, contributing to a richer understanding of the world's multifaceted stories.

From Russia to Ridgewood, with love and memoirs

13 Nov 2019  |  nj
Elena Gorokhova's memoir, 'A Mountain of Crumbs,' recounts her life growing up in the Soviet Union and her eventual move to America after marrying a graduate student from New Jersey. Although her marriage ended, her book has received widespread acclaim, drawing comparisons to Frank McCourt's 'Angela’s Ashes.' Gorokhova's journey from Leningrad to Ridgewood, New Jersey, is marked by her mastery of English, which opened doors to a new life far from her domineering mother. Now, Gorokhova is working on two new books, while her mother lives with her in New Jersey. Despite critical success, the book has not hit best-seller status, with around 5,000 copies sold. The article also touches on the influence of Frank McCourt and the role of Simon and Schuster's editor in chief, Priscilla Painton, in the book's publication.
