The Fish Pearl and Other Stories by Antonio Enriquez
In stock
Thrillingly plotted, intriguing, and utterly moving, “They Made Footprints Without Toe Marks” and "These Four Olden Tales" are A. R. Enriquez’s semi-biographical accounts of his research on the Yakan tribe under a government program on cultural revival. In this project, and as chief of an information office during martial law in the '70s, he witnessed the suffering and horror that plagued various ethnic tribes during the fratricidal war between Christian forces and Moro rebels.
From the Introduction by Krip Yuson:
"In this posthumous collection of short fiction, Antonio Enriquez still weaves the vintage strengths he parlayed into international recognition several decades ago, when his personal anthology "Dance a White Horse to Sleep" was published by University of Queensland Press in Australia.
That was in 1977, with editors Michael Wilding and Harry Aveling turning Enriquez’s short stories into the eighth volume in the prestigious series billed as “Asian and Pacific Writing.”
[...]
Antonio Enriquez orchestrates the discordant music as if the brutish can also be blessed. As indeed they are, in these stories peopled by contrapuntal characters made familiar, even intimate, even as they are all beholden to tyrannies of place."
