Over six decades and a half, he produced a body of work unmatched in richness and range by any of his contemporaries. Living a life wholly devoted to the craft of conjuring a world through words, he was the writer’s writer. In the passion with which he embraced his country’s manifold being, he was his people’s writer as well. Nick Joaquín lived through eight decades of Philippine history and witnessed the slow, uneven, and often violent transformation of the nation—the American idyll of the prewar years, the violence and degradation of an enemy occupation, the Communist insurgency and the hard choices it confronted the Filipino with, the dark years of martial rule, the waxing and waning of hopes for a better nation. It is history that tempts many with despair. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Nick Joaquín, the writer, was that his was always the voice of a deep, inclusive, and compassionate optimism in the Filipino.   \u0026quot;,\u0026quot;type\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;unstyled\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;depth\u0026quot;:0,\u0026quot;inlineStyleRanges\u0026quot;:[],\u0026quot;entityRanges\u0026quot;:[],\u0026quot;data\u0026quot;:{}},{\u0026quot;key\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;3kluk\u0026quot;,\u0026quot;text\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;A Philippine import.

This is the gift of Nick Joaquin—the diffusion of language into innumerable layers of knowledge and existence, done his unique, effortless way. Candido is an alter-ego that tries to conquer the reality of Bobby, and I saw myself with him, in matters of identity and repression. This must not be a literal apocalypse, but a series of metaphorical vicissitudes confined in the magic of brevity. \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block paragraph\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2ahvh\" data-offset-key=\"3sqm9-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"3sqm9-0-0\" class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"3sqm9-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-text=\"true\"\u003e- Excerpts from the publisher's website.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block paragraph\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2ahvh\" data-offset-key=\"447lj-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"447lj-0-0\" class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"447lj-0-0\"\u003e\u003cbr data-text=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block paragraph\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2ahvh\" data-offset-key=\"ehba3-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"ehba3-0-0\" class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"ehba3-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-text=\"true\"\u003eAbout Author: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"block paragraph\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"2ahvh\" data-offset-key=\"ddpq0-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-offset-key=\"ddpq0-0-0\" class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"ddpq0-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-text=\"true\"\u003eHe was the greatest Filipino writer of his generation.
