Patricia Evangelista’s Some People Need Killing has been hailed as one of the 10 Best Books for 2023 by the New York Times. A feat of literary journalism, the book compellingly retells the previous Philippine President’s bloody War on Drugs campaign, interviewing police, vigilantes, killers and survivors to portray what happened in the country in a language described as both ‘evocative and exacting.” Evangelista was a fellow of Democracy Discourse Series, with this book as her project.
