"This volume of short stories by Dr. Alejandro R. Roces represents a window to our culture. It is extraordinary in the way that it captures the nuances and the spirit of ordinary Filipino life. Dr. Roces has a gift for exploring the simple nature and emblematic aspects of Philippine society. He provides, as few Filipino writers do, evidence of our inherent wit and humor, perhaps the best defensive weapons of the Filipino in times of stress and conflict. A Renaissance man, Dr. Roces is complex. Apart from being a noted short story writer, essayist, newspaper columnist, and cultural icon, he has been a distinguished educator, a cabinet member, a nationalist advocate, and a guerilla fighter. He remains a fighter, having figured prominently in the struggle to deconstruct martial law and a dictatorship. And he remains as formidable as ever in wielding his pen as an observer of the passing scene." - Excerpts from the Foreword
A Philippine import. Limited copies available.
