Recenzii
Nick
Joaquin
is
akin
to
Gabriel
Garcia
Marquez
in
the
extravagant,
surreal
imagery
of
his
stories,
the
fatalistic
humor,
the
intricate
weaving
of
history
and
memory,
the
spiritual
and
the
sensual,
the
personal
and
the
political.
He
is
a
writer
deserving
wider
recognition,
whose
magical
Macondo
was
the
very
real
Philippines,
in
all
its
beauty,
splendor
and
ruin.
Behold
this
collection
of
marvels
The Philippines is central to two empires, the Spanish and the American. Joaquin is central to the literature of the Philippines. To read Joaquin is to gain access to how three cultures intersected in the Pacific, mixing explosively with blood, violence, and fantasy in ways that foreshadow what is happening in the Philippines today. As with all great writers, Joaquin remains our contemporary
Manila was Joaquin s birthplace and his muse; yet the priests, socialites, and activists who populate these pages also evoke a globetrotting intellect and a wondrous universe all his own. This book brilliantly captures the singular genius of Nick Joaquin, and will seduce readers everywhere who are meeting this giant of Philippine literature for the first time
One cannot overstate what Nick Joaquin is to Philippine literature. Writing in English with the melody of Spanish and Tagalog, Joaquin was the first Filipino writer to focus on the impossible contradictions of a tribal civilization overlain by Spanish and American world views. And because that tribal civilization was woman-centered, Joaquin's heroines are as complex, romantic and defiant as Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina
A standout collection (...) a transporting read, and a fierce elegy for a past that never was
Steeped in Filipino history and culture, Joaquin's work is a welcome discovery
