Editor's Note:
(Maraan) is one of very few Filipino 'academic' writers I know who can slip in and out of different writing modes as befits her different roles--those of writer of fiction, teacher of literature and creative writing, and writer of essays on literature and creative writing. I guess it's also because in her case, her heart is in each of her roles.She is highly competent and proficient in using English as her medium; her writing style marked by simplicity and clarity of language, without being simplistic and prosaic. By itself, this is remarkable and refreshing, given the current trends toward postmodernist writing...The non-specialist reader can and will certainly enjoy her book the most!Prof. Thelma E. ArambuloFormer Chair, Department of Englishand Comparative Literature, UP DilimanFormer Dean, UP Open University
