[Jaypee Malénab · Rating 1 out of 5]

Long winding and didn’t offer much insight about the grand figure of Philippine letters. The title may seem a joke for never, during my reading, did I discern a portrait of a great artist but rather a gossipy tribute to great relative named “Onching”. The book also was not carefully edited. Some passages appear twice even thrice and the writing seem like fly off the wall to the point of being redundant.

The definitive biography of Nick Joaquin is yet to be written.

This biography should be made into a movie.
