Testament and Other Stories by Katrina Tuvera
Share this Product
A writer is by definition one who sees and gazes steadily and does not blink, no matter how harrowing the reality and the recollection: charred remains, the metal in the broken hip, the sound of bones being crushed. But it could all be in vain if the language should falter and fall, and fail when pitted, in the words of Joyce Carol Oates, 'against death and silence.' Katrina Tuvera wields her weapon courageously and well.
Gregorio C. Brillantes
on Katrina Tuvera's "A Passing Life"
One of the most impressive young writers from any community x x x. It is surprising to find such facility and strength in a writer as young as Ms. Tuvera.
Benjamin S. Bautista
Testament and Other Stories is a collection exploring the complexities that motivate people and drive their relationships. In writing that is subtle, ironic, sometimes dark, and often sorrowful, Tuvera renders characters who are too real for comfort, who make us confront our own humanity with the questions that scare us. On the one hand, she accomplishes a rare universality and depth; on the other hand, she offers clarity of insight on Pinoy culture and our psyche. We read her stories and cannot help but be moved.
