Bibliofiles Presents: Reportage on Crime Thirteen Horror Happenings That Hit the Headlines by Quijano de Manila

1/20/2010 | Ayala Foundation USA

The thirteen narratives in this anthology of true crime stories transcend journalism by attempting analyses of character, motive, period, and ambiance. What emerges is the picture of a fascinating decade: the 1960s.

Quijano de Manila is the other name that National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin made famous during a journalistic career in which he ranged from police beat to disaster coverage, and from news profiles to political punditry, in a style that could be mockingly stark but always respected the reporting of the fact.
