If the news cannot be found in the papers, if history's records were lost, so would our national memory be. How do we remember then as a people? Maybe we can locate the answer in fiction; in Different Countries maybe. It is in the memory of the novelist where wisdom is forthcoming. . . . Art is not art if it could not state the facts about the novelist's time and her country. There is beauty even in pain in a finely crafted novel. In remembering, we also recover our dignity. - Jun Cruz Reyes (Source: http://www.amazon.com)
