Penmanship & Other Stories

PENMANSHIP & OTHER STORIES is Jose Y. Dalisay Jr.'s third collection of short stories and includes a short novel, Voyager. These new stories deal largely with men and women, and with the ebbs and flows of power — often taken or mistaken for love — that pass between them. Their settings vary from a posh restaurant in Makati (Dessert), the petalled sidewalks of R. Hidalgo Street in Quiapo (Delivery), and a karaoke bar on Timog Avenue (Ybarra) to a Georgian pub in Edinburgh (We Global Men), a casino (Except Felisa), and a steamship homebound from Hong Kong in the 1880s (Voyager).
