Update: 2020-11-27
Description
Best known for his “Rosales Saga” novels, multi-award-winning Filipino writer F. Sionil José, is known equally outside his country for his interventions on questions of land reform and social justice as well as one of the founders of the regional journal of literature and opinion, Solidarity. Born before the Great Depression, he is rare in being a living witness to the tumultuous 20th Century; throughout he has been a consistent advocate for freedom of expression with his confirmation as Vice President of PEN International in October 2019 a testament to that conviction. In this conversation, Eddin Khoo speaks to him about the role of the writer in the formation of national consciousness.
