May Day Eve
"May Day Eve" is a short story written by Filipino National Artist Nick Joaquin. Written after World War II, it became one of Joaquin's “signature stories” that became a classic〔("May Day Eve" from Nick Joaquin Collection ), filipinaslibrary.org〕 in Philippine literature in English. Together with Joaquin's other stories like ''The Mass of St. Sylvester'', ''Doña Jeronima'' and ''Candido’s Apocalypse'', ''May Day Eve'' utilized the theme of "magic realism" long before the genre was made a trend in Latin American novels.〔("May Day Eve" from Biography of Nick Joaquin ), rmaf.org.ph〕 Published in 1947, it is a story originally intended for adult readers,〔Hidalgo, Cristina Pontoja. ("May Day Eve" from New Tales for Old ), panitikan.com.ph〕 but has later become a required and important reading material for Filipino students.〔(May Day Eve: Nick Joaquin Dies at 86 ), Philippine Daily Inquirer, page 19 (A17), news.google.com, April 30, 2004〕
