Heartbreak, a collection of romantic short stories edited by Palanca awardee Cel Coscolluela, was exhibited at the Singapore World Book Fair from May 25-June 3, 2007 at the Suntec International Convention Center. Along with Rex Publishing’s Speak Up, Heartbreak was chosen to represent the Philippines in a book launching hosted by the ASEAN Book Publisher’s Association (ABPA). Cozy Reads Publishing gave copies of Heartbreak to ABPA President, Mr. Thanachai, and Singapore’s Minister of Education Mr. Gan Kim Yong.
Heartbreak showcases some new literary voices alongside prizewinning authors in a unique mix of funny and tragic stories on matters of the heart. With writers originating from Cebu, Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro, Pampanga and Metro Manila, each narrative embodies a distinctly Filipino experience in contemporary times. Well-written and brimming with wit and wisdom, the collection proves itself a fine and enjoyable read. Heartbreak is available at Booktopia, Fully Booked, National Bookstore and Powerbooks.
