Long time short story writer and author Mr Erwin Cabucos , formerly of Queensland invites the public to the the launch of the FourW 31 Journal of New Writing book on Dec 5, 2020 at 3:30PM in Gleebooks, Glebe. .
The author who had prodigiously written many recollections and stories about migrant’s life before and after settlement in Australia will be present during the launch to do personal readings of his published work.
Cabucos is a tireless short story writer and had published a series of short stories.
One of his previous work , available through Amazon titled ” It Matter What the Dead Think”is an accomplished collection of short stories dealing with the influence of the Catholic Church and politics. Mostly set in the Philippines and Australia, these stories explore aspects of life which are often difficult, told in an open and insightful manner.
Amazon says, “Most I like about the stories of Erwin Cabucos are his characters who, even when they are in Australia, are Filipino through and through. They are touching in their simplicity and tenacity to improve their lot. They treasure the notion of the Family.
‘Cabucos’ stories are well grounded in contemporary history, so that after reading his work, one has a better understanding of the Filipino-Australian experience, and of Filipino experience in Muslim Mindanao.’ -Cecilia Brainard, author of When the Rainbow Goddess Wept, University of Michigan Press, USA.
