On a gloomy January night in the Manila district of Paco, a band of young men serenades the beautiful Dolores, and among them the singer Artemyo and his sly friend Beteng begin a rivalry for her. Over ten short chapters the courtship turns into a contest over a woman's good name and the honour of everyone around her. A 1914 novel from the Kami Naman writers' circle, printed with a critic's open letter to the author. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
