Product Description

Luis G. Dato wrote in the English language that was just some two or three decades old in the nation. He would join an elite corps of students who had the courage to use a new language and daring to employ diction for a native consciousness. That he, in the gilded standard of the pre-war time, excelled in the heightened aspect of that language – in similes, metaphors, personifications – is a reason to celebrate Dato. The biographies about Luis G. Dato is relatively short when one reckons the greatness he has achieved as a writer of English literature. That is an impression because long after he had become a prominent Bikolano writer anthologized in major collections and present in textbooks for use in numerous schools, the language with which he responded to the worlds around him had already co-opted the literary and socio-political spaces of this nation. (Tito Genova Valiente)
