5.0 out of 5 stars Mind-blowing Prose, 10 May 1999
By A Customer
This is an amazing account of Philippine history never found in the history book sof our time. Jose is a poetic writer with an agility with words hardly found with any of his contemporaries. Dusk reads like an epic... true and moving!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, inspiring insight into the human condition., 10 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Noone comes close to capturing the readers attention writing about his homeland and characters than Jose. Because noone has lived it, faught for it, and cares for it more than Jose. Dusk is one the best examples of Jose's work.

You can't help but notice the tension between illusion and reality--that while the setting could be tranquil at times, there is always this underlying anticipation of tragedy, especially with Istak's encounters with the Spanish and the Americans.
