                    [Summary] => Nothing written may not be rewritten.


Francisco Arcellana wrote those lines as part of a sort of foreword – an Apology from one Idler to the Reader he called it – for a collection of 15 of his short stories, published in 1973 as Storymasters 5.


Each story he had ever written took on a life of its own; some of them, in fact, took on several lives as he rewrote them.


Arcellana was a master of words, and a master of storytelling.

Francisco Arcellana wrote those lines as part of a sort of foreword – an Apology from one Idler to the Reader he called it – for a collection of 15 of his short stories, published in 1973 as Storymasters 5.


Each story he had ever written took on a life of its own; some of them, in fact, took on several lives as he rewrote them.


Arcellana was a master of words, and a master of storytelling.
