In this collection of short fiction, F. Sionil José -- the Philippines' most widely translated author -- takes his readers into that intriguing and fascinating landscape of the Filipino condition. The title story is a graphic allegorical rendering of the disease which has long afflicted the upper reaches of Filipino society. Then with the deft strokes of a master storyteller, the author takes his readers into the far reaches and the inner depths of the Filipino experience.

F. Sionil José is best known for his epic work, the five-novel Rosales saga which encompasses a hundred years of tumultuous Philippine history, starting with the martyrdom of the three Filipino priests in 1872, and culminating with the start of Martial Law in 1972.
