A collection of selected short fiction in Ilokano by Roy Vadil Aragon Introduction by Aurelio Solver Agcaoili "Bannuar ken Dadduma Pay a Fiksion confirms Roy Vadil Aragon’s stature as the finest Ilokano writer of his generation. His vision is brave, his imagination fearless, his language masterful. He dwells on enduring themes—oppression, injustice, marginalization, to mention a few—but provides fresh insights into the human condition by writing from the perspective of those ‘insaned’ by, and who live with, structural violence. He confronts the Marcos dictatorship, rare in Ilokano literature. In ‘Pamulinawen,’ he radicalizes the ‘traditional’ and celebrates the people in what is pejoratively labelled ‘folk’ in order to recuperate the promise of freedom and true community in which men and women are both vital and equal actors by turning what is arguably the most beautiful Ilokano love song into a stirring revolutionary one. He provides sensitive treatment of LGBT, specially gay, themes, a most vital intervention in Ilokano literature where these issues have been mostly caricatured. His writing practice demonstrates a commitment to a politics that advances just class, gender, and other social relations. Drawing on his experiences of living in and out of the Ilokano heartland including as a student in Bicol, Aragon enriches Ilokano literature by incorporating into his stories non-Ilokano geographies or spaces of historical experience and imagining. This ability to summon other non-metropolitan sources of biographical, linguistic, and literary material into Ilokano literature is critical to shaping debates and discourses on national literature and on making a national community. Aragon shows how this project is riven by conflicting interests and (in ‘Dagiti Suni’) threatened as much by globalization as by the complicity of fellow Filipinos with forces that threaten our collective future." — RODERICK G.
