New collection of stories from Menchu Aquino-Sarmiento

Anvil Publishing Inc. in cooperation with the Center for International PEN will launch Ukay-Ukay: Cuentos & Diskwentos, a collection of essays and short stories by multi-awarded fictionist and essayist, Menchu Aquino-Sarmiento.

University of the Philippines-Institute of Creative Writing director Jose Dalisay Jr. describes Sarmiento as one of the finest fiction writers in the Philippines. “The best testimonial I can offer on her behalf is that I teach one of her stories in my class in contemporary Philippine literature, alongside the very best of our writers,” he shares.
