His return to his family is full of meaning and suspense. What has Bobby been up to? Cándido's apocalypse is full of the rich prose that made the greatest Filipino writer in English, Nick Joaquin, stand out then and now, while the novella makes readers confront the question of Filipino identity, one attached to the colonial past and yet struggling to find the self that looks to the future."--Back cover.See more
