The Humor and Wisdom in Miguel Syjuco's Ilustrado: Set #3

" No matter who is in power, our lives go on with their usual troubles."

**********************************************************************************

"It's foolish to believe that we should be entirely honest."

*********************************************************************************

"If only we could go back and reverse the things we did wrong, better the things we did right.  We can't.  Not because time doesn't move that way, but because we ourselves would be entirely different.  It would not be fair.  You've had your chance.  You're no longer on the stage.  The clapping has subsided.  The trumpets are silent, packed up in cases already gathering dust."

******************************************************************************

This book won the Man Asian Literary Prize in 2008 - a competition open to all writers of the English language of Asian descent.  BUY THIS BOOK!  Not only is it funny, it's an incisive look at today's politics and society.
