Abstract

Excerpt: A little over a decade after the publication of Daisy Nueve: Stories Weird, Wonderful, Whatever (2003), her National Book Award–winning anthology of fiction, renowned writer Menchu Aquino Sarmiento proffers eight “cuentos” (short stories) and four “diskuwentos” (essays) gathered together under the broad rubric of “ukay-ukay,” arguably the prevalent image of the collection.
