Description
Summary:The study describes, as an outcome of emphathetic reading, the consciousness of Philippine fictionist N.V.M. Gonzalez as enverbalized in his major fictional works -- four anthologies of short fiction and three longer works.The reading is guided by the principles of phenomenological literary criticism, or criticism of consciousness as practiced by the Geneva School and described by Magliola. It reconstructs the deep structure of images, themes, and impulses in Gonzalez.World (the Clearing) and Self (the Sea) are focused upon as contents of Gonzalez's fictive world, which expands to the dimensions of a universe as it seeks to know itself.
