"The stories of Wilfiendo d. Nolledo will remain synonymous with seduction, wizadry, intoxication. Eloquent and dazzling are additional lauds for his trailblazing fiction since the Sixties--those halcyon days when readers and budding writers recognized the premium in language as fresh and riveting as the substance it spun and wove. Oh how we marvelled at his narratives of romance, grief, heroism, failure. Thrilled to lyrically adroit, virtuostic articulation. He lives on, his powerfu prose lives on--to amaze more generations of writers and readers. Bravo Nolledo!" Alfred A. Yuson, Novelist, Poet, Critic, Columnist "Ding Nolledo's quiet intensity often masked the fact that he stood at the cusp of a struggle in Philippine literature. He defied standards drawn from American literary theory and propagated by American critics, he used English as a Philipine language--one reflective of the multi-layers of the archipelago's culutre and hence more capable of expressing the passion, rage, and confusion of the Filipino's colonized soul." Ninotchka Rosca, Journalist and Novelist
