Ang Bulkan at iba pang Kuwento (Aklatambayan Series)
by Bienvenido A. Ramos

The name Bienvenido A. Ramos is indelible in the pages of Philippine literature, and this is related to his stories that delve into gender, power, and the volcanic burst of emotion. Ramos’s stories are dark and disturbs the soul, behind which they aim to save and redeem honor, and to rise from oppression and poverty. . . . The author proves how aphorisms are translated into rare form of realism in fiction.—From the Introduction by Roberto T. Añonuevo.
