"Our own view is that as fine a short story writer as Miss Polotan is, she is ten times a better journalist. No one...commands a wider repertory of rhetorical devices. Irony, sarcasm, with, piercing humor and the big "put on" before the balloon of pretension and bombast is finally and irrevocably deflated--Miss Polotan's art at its acid best is classical in finish and execution. Among her peers in the widely-practices art, Miss Polotan is in a class by herself...She uses distilled poison, of a chemistry kept secret since the noon tide of the quinquesento. Summary punishment is foreign to her vocabulary. As a Christian, she allows her victims reasonable time to atone for their sins, while she stands at (their) beside in glee, watching them expire in slow agony. Miss Polotan is the Lucrezia Borgia of Philippine Letters. -Armando Manolo"
