But For The Lovers by Wilfrido D. Nolledo - Trade Paperback - Philippine Fiction

New publishing house Exploding Galaxies dedicated to Philippine fiction debuts with the first Philippine edition of Wilfrido D. Nolledo's lost classic “But for the Lovers”

Based in Manila, Exploding Galaxies is a new publishing house focused on republishing out-of- print works of contemporary Philippine fiction.

This series, beginning with Wilfrido D. Nolledo's But for the Lovers, will bring lost classics of Filipino writing back into print and in active circulation, as well as into conversations in and around Philippine literature.

Exploding Galaxies will publish two to four books each year, with a focus on novels and short story collections, in English, Tagalog, or regional languages. Each book's spine carries the year of first publication, so that each collected copy can be lined up on a shelf by year.


Exploding Galaxies rediscovers lost classics of Philippine fiction whose revival may illuminate new stories of our time.
