Editor's Note:
This book examines, through a critical analysis of select literary works as well as his own creative practice, the experience of childhood and coming of age. In the critical component of this thesis, he define coming of age as the particular moment in a child’s life when he recognizes evil in the world, which comes hand in hand with the recognition of that which is good. Through a reading of texts from our anglophone literary tradition, he attempt to particularize good and evil as a Philippine good and a Philippine evil as a recognized by a Filipino child as he comes of age. Using tools from both literary and cultural studies, what this thesis offers is a possible theorizing of the coming-of-age story in Philippine literature in English. The creative component of this thesis builds on this theorizing. In this component, he reflect on his own writing practice, given his particular position as a Filipino writer. The seven stories collected here comprise a collection of coming-of-age fiction, which illustrates what it means to come of age in the Philippines of today.
