Celebrating the centennial of his birth, the first-ever U.S. publication of Philippine writer Nick Joaquin's seminal works, with a foreword by PEN/Open Book Award-winner Gina Apostol

A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice

Nick Joaquin is widely considered one of the greatest Filipino writers, but he has remained little-known outside his home country despite writing in English. Set amid the ruins of Manila devastated by World War II, his stories are steeped in the post-colonial anguish and hopes of his era and resonate with the ironic perspectives on colonial history of Gabriel Garc a M rquez and Mario Vargas Llosa. His work meditates on the questions and challenges of the Filipino individual's new freedom after a long history of colonialism, exploring folklore, centuries-old Catholic rites, the Spanish colonial past, magical realism, and baroque splendor and excess. This collection features his best-known story, "The Woman Who Had Two Navels," centered on Philippine emigrants living in Hong Kong and later expanded into a novel, the much-anthologized stories "May Day Eve" and "The Summer Solstice" and a canonic play, A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. As Penguin Classics previously launched his countryman Jose Rizal to a wide audience, now Joaquin will find new readers with the first American collection of his work.

First time buyer and I love it
Vibrant Colors and Smooth Printing – Great Sublimation Ink! I’ve been using Hippo Sublimation Ink for a few months now, and I’m really impressed with the quality and performance. I paired it with my converted Epson EcoTank printer, and the setup was super easy. The bottles are clearly labeled, and the no-mess nozzle design makes refilling a breeze. The color output is excellent—bright, bold, and true to what I see on my screen. Reds are vibrant, blacks are deep, and everything prints consistently without streaks or blotching. I’ve used this ink for sublimating on a variety of blanks like mugs, shirts, keychains, and tumblers, and every item has turned out beautifully. Overall, Hippo has become my go-to sublimation ink. Great quality, reliable performance, and affordable for the results you get. Highly recommend it for hobbyists and small business

Great sublimation ink at a great price. Works great in my ET-8550.
I use this Hiipoo sublimation ink with my ET‑8550 for shirts, tumblers, and ceramic mugs, and it’s been great across all of them. The colors come out vibrant and consistent, and the ink flows well through the printer. Getting the color profile dialed in can be a little tricky, but that’s pretty much par for the course with any sublimation setup. Once everything is calibrated, the results look fantastic. For the price, it’s an excellent value. Plenty of ink, reliable performance, and great results on a wide range of blanks. I’ll definitely keep buying it.
