Abstract/Summary
The salmon children: a novel, an undergraduate creative writing thesis in fiction centering on two imagined cities, Balasagan and Alpampa, and the people that have lived in a time of war. Through a juxtaposition of culture, this thesis sheds much light on the lost and forgotten half of the Philippine identity of the precolonial times as well as on the identity flux of the modern-day postcolonial Filipino. You will find in this dissertation a novel in the genre of magic realism as well as an exegetic essay that discuss the author's literary voyage, the magic realist tradition as reflection and lore, and the author's standards in fiction with which the work was written. Inasmuch as it is fantastical, the novel aims to be true to those who read it.
