Sabong, stories, etc.

By Paulino Lim Jr.

From critically-acclaimed Filipino writer Paulino Lim Jr., SABONG, STORIES, ETC. is a collection of short stories that delve into the inspiring and, at times heartbreaking, Filipino-American experience. The stories have nurses in hospitals, caregivers in homes, sailors aboard cruise ships, doctors working as physician assistants and exposed family secrets.Included are essays previously published in scholarly journals and reviews, and presented at literary conferences."Writing complements teaching. Like its predecessors, this latest anthology comes from the log of a lifetime voyage of teaching. The "stories" conform to Edgar Allan Poe's idea of the short story as an artistic composition controlled to produce a single unified effect. The "etc." section sheds light on the fictional elements, as well as history, language and philosophy." -- from SABONG, STORIES, ETC.
