Maximum Volume

Maximum Volume is about creating spaces for emerging Filipino writers and new narratives. Here is a baker's dozen of the best contemporary writing, ranging from small personal tragedies to fantastic voyages of the imagination to our nation's past and present.

The 14 stories in this book celebrate the variety of voices currently enriching and expanding Philippine literature-all by authors under the age of 45. Stories of wonder and mystery rub shoulders with contemporary domestic dramas and rousing speculative fiction, all rife with joy and sadness told in different ways.
