This is my fourth time to read a book written by Nick Joaquin. I liked those first three books more than this. However, I don't hate this book. It still is likable especially for readers who love gothic stories, mystery and historical fiction with a bit of eroticism. It's just that I was expecting a bit more so I guess my rating was primarily due to some unmet expectations.
Those expectations were:
1) I was suprised to find out that Nick Joaquin wrote short stories in this genres: gothic, mystery

As a follow up review to another collection of Nick Joaquin classics, the subsequent stories continue its theme of historical facts, magic realism, and personal journeys.
The Mass of St. Sylvestre of an iconic church with the celebration of the image of St. Sylvestre every New Year. It is more of a historical narrative as it describes the traditional ways of honoring the saint dedicated to the largest church in the city of Manila. It is seen through the eyes of an American footsoldier gallivanti..more
It was the first ever book that I read from our National Artist and I think I know why he is, because he has a very different stories from other author. He gives readers that somewhat horror or thriller feeling at some point of the book and the fact that his tackling a very sensitive topic which is faith or religion that was already a big thing to do. Through this book also, he made readers informed of how was it like before or during 1900s, like what they believe in traditions and such culture..more

Three very Filipino stories. All three very different -- one more a recollection, one about folkloric religion celebrating the sexual woman, and lastly a mini-novella that explores the old and the new of Filipino belief systems. Full review on my blog Guiltless Reading.

Commencing with the sound of a fabulist awed by the glory of a cathedral, 'The Mass of St. Sylvestre' pullulated with cadences requisite of striking and remarkable storytelling which hooks a reader to continue reading. And this reader, stupefied by a language so distinct and so elegant, will proceed to 'The Summer Solstice' --- for which the National Artist is known, by students and teachers who always end up mesmerized by the narrative and its haunting resolution --- that has marked the fiction..more
There are obvious gender discriminations in the story. Though women are portrayed as some kind of supreme beings, the story is definitely not feminist in any sense. First, as for the battering attitude of men such as Entoy and Paeng, it is so narrow-minded of men to use force to show their authority over women.
Second is the distinction between the kind of images used and men and women's way of worshipping St. John. In the St. John's Day procession, the image is 'riding swiftly above the sea of d..more

I've been hearing about Nick Joaquin from other Pinoy writers for awhile, so I was happy to finally sit down with some of his work. I can see why there's so much hype. There's a clarity to the writing that contrasts wonderfully with the emotional intensity and eerieness of the content. My favorite story here by far is The Summer Solstice.
My one note is that the edition I had had a printing error, so not only was the novella The Order of Melchizedek missing about 20 pages but also had repeated a..more

It's a very interesting story of folklores that I have never heard before.

Enchanting, captivating short stories that took native filipino elements down the rabbit hole. A definite must read.
The Mass of St. Sylvestre - 3.0
The Summer Solstice - 5.0
The Order of Melkizedek - 3.5

I was expecting several stories because the title says : The Summer Solstice and other stories, turned out there were only two stories. After a long long time, here I was , was able to read a story written by a fellow Filipino and im highly amazed by the writing.The first story was about a Tadtarin , reminded me of the Wiccan religion. I didn't know that this practice of paganism was practiced as well here in the Philippines. I am therefore is a stranger to my own rich culture and im ashamed .

It took me ages to finally pick his book out of the shelf. Like most of the teenagers my age, I've been burn out from reading Philippine literature throughout high school. I'm not entirely sure what had me craving for it again. Maybe it was because I knew in my heart that Filipinos are just as good writers as the Western white people with pink noses and lighter hued eyes at the other side of the world, and I was looking for ways to salvage the Philippine literature section of bookstores all over..more
