A short story is a fictional narrative in prose that can be read in one sitting. It is also an imaginative
re-creation and reconstruction of life on two levels- the world of objective reality made up of
human actions and experiences, and the world of subjective reality dealing with human
apprehension and comprehension.
Jose Garcia Villa is a Filipino poet, critic, short story writer and painter. He was born on
August 5, 1908 in Manila.
He gained both local and international recognition for his works.
He was named as the National Artist for Literature in 1973, and was also a recipient of
Guggenheim Fellowship.
During his college years, he wrote Man Songs, a collection of controversial poems that was
considered too bold by the University of the Philippines and became the ground for his
suspension from the said institution.
Some of his well-known literary works are “Mir-i-nisa” (won in the Philippines Free Press
in 1929), and “Footnote to Youth” (published in 1933).
He used the pseudonym Doveglion, which is derived from dove, eagle, lion.
He died on July 7, 1997.
