None of the bitter: The short stories and essays in English

Genoveva Edroza Matute

4.9/5 (28012 ratings)

Description:Like her Filipino pieces, Edroza-Matute's English works are characterized by felicity and precision of language, emotional restraint, wonderfully keen insights, an unfailing sense of wonder, and particularly for her fiction, psychological complexity. Perhaps the best bridge between her Filipino and English worlds is "The Story of 'Well'", the English version of her most-anthologized story, "Ang Kwento ni Mabuti". About a young girl's closeness to a teacher who inspires and cares but who has her own unhappy problem that the former can only glean and slowly understand from a distance, the story is a hallmark in Philippine fiction for its technique, poignancy, and control, qualities that are enhanced in the English version, a rare instance in which the tired adage, "Something is lost in translation," is disproved.The same qualities are exhibited in her other stories and essays, making of this collection a worth addition to the inexhaustible Edroza-Matute canon.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
