About this ebook:
What Critics Have Said-"N.V.M. Gonzalez is easily the master of Filipino short story."Bienvenido Lumbera, Revaluation/Essays on Philippine LIterature, Cinema and Culture"American critics have also been impressed... Lucian Stryk, a renowned scholar of Asian Literature, offered his assessment in Panorama...'Mr. Gonzalez is most telling when he writes of the young, the old, the deprived, and he finds people to care about all over those 7,000 islands of his. He is a very pure writer.'"Roger J. Bresnahan, Asiaweek Literary Review"The paradox of Gonzalez is that he has gained an international reputation for himself at a variety of intellectual centers while identifying constantly with the uneducated folk-wise peasant of the Philippines..."Leonard Casper, Survey of Long Fiction"Here too is a chance to chart the development of an artist...and the expansion of his literary landscape."Doreen G. Fernandez, World Literature Today"Fortunately for the Philippines, Gonzalez' vision--even in its twilight, somber hues--is strong, complex and daringly hopeful."Richard R. Guzman, Virginia Quarterly Review"This unique modern Filipino writer is a master not only of English, but of his own individual prose style...The stories...bear the stamp of a most sensitive personality and of an original mind."James Kirkup, The Weekly Nation
