In 1952, Genivena Edroza-Matute published Ako’y Isang Tinig, her first anthology of short stories and essays, which introduced a distinct voice in the postwar Tagalog literary landscape one defined by a mastery of language and imagery, a deftness in handling emotion, and a sensibility that captures the complexity of individual lives in a rapacious world. Now translated by eminent literary scholar Soledad S. Reyes, I Am A Voice highlights how Edroza-Matute skillfully deployed modern fiction techniques to craft worlds inhabited by three dimensional characters whose understanding of a complex world is rendered in nontraditional ways subtle and psychologically nuanced.
