Lush Life Essays: 2001-2010 Alfred A. Yuson
Share this Product
Krip Yuson is undoubtedly one of the country’s most distinguished fictionists and poets, antedating by decades trends and techniques mistakenly labeled “new” today. His novels and short stories— shifting blithely from realism to marvelous realism to postmodern fantasy, from lyricism to broad farce to sophisticated comedy—have some echoes of Nick Joaquin and anticipate Miguel Syjuco.
This collection of 75 essays is proof, were further proof needed, that he has few equals in the field of nonfiction. It also demonstrates how a life fully lived—its dizzying heights scaled, its dark depths plumbed—combined with a large soul, an ironic vision, an unfailingly playful sense of humor, and the gift of bending the language to his every whim, are what lead to great writing.
