The Fireline: Stories from Cagayan de Oro by NH Legaspi
In stock
A yet-unnamed girl walks through streets steeped in unheard histories. Traveling to the city alone to inform his father of his sister’s birth, a ten-year-old boy confronts injustice for the first time. A teenage girl makes a life-and-death decision for her delinquent brother. The father of a girl who survived the raging floods notices her unusual treatment of her prized rag doll. An unknown perpetrator threatens to release a local beauty queen’s nudes. The girl, now with a name, is recruited into an infamous white man’s home in a secluded old subdivision. In these ten stories, the so-called City of Golden Friendship is a space of progress and bliss tempered by decay and self-destruction.
Set at a time in the city’s history that will soon be known as pre-metropolitan, this short story cycle follows characters arriving or escaping into a migrant city peopled with hopeful settlers and souls harboring private terrors, amplified by their desire to be loved or to belong within a culture in constant waiting for the next fall from grace. At times bleak but at all turns grounded and vivid, The Fireline: Stories from Cagayan de Oro is an ode to a city ever in flux.
