Sugilanong Sugboanon Volume 2: Cebuano Fiction Until 1940 Edited by Erlinda Kintanar Alburo

Edited and Translated by Erlinda K. Alburo, Vicente Bandillo, Simeon Dumdum Jr, and Resil B. Mojares

In the work of some practitioners, many of them represented in this book, Cebuano fiction has acquired a more mellow, more confident voice. The output of English-Cebuano fictionists, also here showcased, has added a healthy, cross-fertilizing influence on contemporary Cebuano writing.

“With the interest in the recovery of local traditions and awareness of the need for more dynamic cross-regional enrichments, Cebuano literature must seize its future, and take the path that opens out into a territory of as yet unrealized possibilities.” - Excerpts from the Introduction.

Resil B. Mojares, one of the editors of this book was named as National Artist of the Philippines for Literature on 2018.
