Fil­ipino Amer­i­can writer Bet­ty Ann Quiri­no sent this love­ly pho­to of Cecil­ia Brainard’s short sto­ry col­lec­tion, ACAPULCO AT SUNSET AND OTHER STORIES, reis­sued in paper­back and avail­able from Amazon.com.

The 2020 US Edi­tion of Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard’s col­lec­tion of short fic­tion, ACAPULCO AT SUNSET AND OTHER STORIES, gath­ers sev­en­teen enchant­i­ng sto­ries grouped into four cat­e­gories: Long Ago Tales, Sto­ries from the ’60s and ’70s, Sto­ries from the ’90s, and Amer­i­can Tales. In this book, Brainard, a Philip­pine Amer­i­can author, con­tin­ues her explo­ration of her Fil­ipino and Fil­ipino-Amer­i­can immi­grant expe­ri­ences. The col­lec­tion includes some of her best short stories.This anthol­o­gy of sto­ries, first pub­lished in 1995 in the Philip­pines, is now pre­sent­ed to an audi­ence famil­iar with Brainard’s sub­se­quent lit­er­ary work — the nov­els she wrote (WHEN THE RAINBOW GODDESS WEPT, MAGDALENA, THE NEWSPAPER WIDOW), the books she edit­ed, includ­ing the young adult com­ing-of-age antholo­gies GROWING UP FILIPINO: STORIE FOR YOUNG ADULTS and the fol­low up GROWING UP FILIPINO; and more.. The GROWING UP books are most pop­u­lar among edu­ca­tors librarians.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
