About the author

Edel Garcellano is, in the words of Dr. Caroline Hau, "one of the most influential Filipino writers of our time, one who has inspired generations of Filipino students (particularly from the University of the Philippines) to think, read, and write against the grain of mainstream Philippine literature, society, and Politics."

Another revered literary critic, Dr. Neferti X.M. Tadiar believes that Edel Garcellano is "one of the most influential and yet under appreciated Filipino intellectuals of the last few decades."

It is puzzling, really, how only a few Filipinos manage to read Edel Garcellano considering the fact that he is one of the most important writers this country has produced.
