Finally! My dearest friend/baby Kit Kwe (who may be one of Philippine literature's beautiful young faces) has summoned the courage to publish something! She's barely past her adolescence but already she writes such searing -- and very adult -- fiction. So searing and awesome she won with me in this year's Palanca Awards. But she has never, ever published. Refuses to, actually. She said she didn't think her fiction was worth any of that. (As if!)



A few months ago, she sent me the draft of a new story with a very troubling surprise ending (with the kind of dreadful epiphany I had when I first read Arthur C. Clarke's "The Star" and Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"). That story appears in today's edition of Sunday Times Magazine.



Read it.
