Salvaging Histories
As part of the UP Writers Club’s plans to showcase its rich literary history, the Club made the effort to sift through its tangled past, delving the various activities of the Club in years past.
While there is much to be gleaned in the way the Club was ever-present in the consciousness of the UP community, the unfortunate reality is that this information is lucky to survive to this age. What we have done to compensate is reproduce and reconstruct as many of these articles as best we can — an apt metaphor of our attempts to make sense of a muddled and confused past, a history whose facts have been distorted by memory and age.
Our hope is to give the audience insight into the difficult process of salvaging the past — of trying to capture as many of these brief snapshots of UP Writers Club history before they disappear and of recovering the story of the UP Writers Club from obscurity.
Kwentong Katha tells the history of the UP Writers’ Club through the editions of its literary folio The Literary Apprentice.
