| Summary, etc. |
The twelve hilarious stories in this book revolve around the misadventures of an imaginative, intellectual, dedicated, wealthy, wacky, and ill-fated sabungero called Nestor Divinagracia. Obsessed with becoming the greatest cockfighter in the whole world, he constantly conjures up the most elaborate and complicated schemes to conquer the world of sabong. He invariably fails in his quixotic quest and quaffs the bitter brew of defeat again and again without flinching. In fact, he generously shares the brew with his two Sancho Panzas, Oscar and Abet, and his Dulcinea--his beautiful, half-Dutch, second wife, Katrina Vandenburg. Through side-splitting comedy and biting irony, Tony Hidalgo reflects the absurd elements of our social reality and plumbs the deeper intellectual, psychological and behavioral truths that are inherent in the Filipino human condition. These funny and insightful stories are among the most popular and widely read in the country today. They are offered as a complete series of interrelated stories for the first time in this book - the better to render the additional depth and meaning of the collection as a whole.
