Summary: First published between 1966 and 1980, these stories thoughtfully reveal the preoccupations of the middle-class Filipino struggling to come to terms with the changes occurring around him, over which he had little control. Their geography is a long-gone clutch of neighboring urban districts, interconnected by the wanderings of the people reduced to their primal, baser selves by a cold, dehumanizing city and economic hardship.
