| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "Nick Joaquin is widely considered one of the greatest Filipino writers, but he has remained little-known outside the Philippines despite writing in English. Set amid the ruins of Manila devastated by World War II, his stories are steeped in the postcolonial anguish and hopes of his era and meditate on the challenges of the Filipino individual's new freedom after a long history of colonialism. This collection includes his best-known stories and his celebrated play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino."
