​
Salud's first collection of short fiction is an excursion down delicate and misty roads. At once adoring and passionate, each story bravely maintains a quality reminiscent of old fables but with a netherworldly hum. That it's foray into the murkier side of the human soul is never in doubt, but one that offers illumination even as it ferrets for answers in the dark.

​
Joel Pablo Salud's first collection of essays showcases writings that seek to expound rather than entertain. At once intimate and lyrical, the author's three books--itself a library of creative non-fiction--are a font of masterful analysis backed by context and a deep fondness for storytelling. Here's is one Filipino writer's understanding of lives and loves, losses and laurels and how they all fit into the scheme of wonder and beauty held by a nation struggling to make sense of its freedom.
