new stories and an introduction by Don Jaucian.
“Jessica
is a natural short story writer, and I don’t know anyone else in the
Philippines writing in English who does it as well as she does. The fact that
she’s a Filipina couldn’t matter less. She would be recognised anywhere on
earth that good English is read. But of course in this fatuous world the
unmerited hegemony of “English” literature (including of course American,
Canadian, Australian, etc. etc.) reminds us that it still fancies itself as the
arbiter of the Real Thing. But plenty of us round-eyes know that’s baloney, and
JZ provides us with ammunition to stand up in public and say so.” –
James Hamilton-Paterson, Whitbread Award-winning author of Gerontius, Playing
With Water, Seven-Tenths, Ghosts of Manila, and the bestselling Cooking With
Fernet Branca and Empire of the Clouds
