JOURNEYS OF THE HEART AND SPIRIT, DESTINATIONS OF MEMORY AND DESIRE In these 25 stories the award-winning writer Gregorio C. Brillantes tells of pilgrims-the young and the aged, the tender and the violent, the loved and the unloved-on their way to what they dread or desire : darkness or light, infinite loss or gain. The gallery of characters includes Fathers and Sons, wives and lovers, schoolboys, teenage girls, bureaucrats, landlords, farmers, soldiers, priests and nuns. Their destinations are as varied as the distance they must travel, their voyages as brief as a night's encounter, or as long as a lifetime. The stop-overs and terminals of their journeys are located in the country of the heart and spirit no less than in familiar Filipino settings : provincial house, town plaza and church
