Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从一具尸体开始。在冬日晴朗的一天里，克里斯宾萨尔瓦多(Crispin Salvador)被打得遍体鳞伤的尸体从哈德逊河(Hudson River)中被打捞出来。他最后一本书的唯一手稿也不见了，这最后一次的著书立作旨在揭露菲律宾统治家族背后腐败的权力根源，这次发表能让他从籍籍无名中脱颖而出。死者的学生，米格尔(Miguel)对老师的突然暴毙进行了调查，他从一个备受恐袭侵扰的城市，转战到一个正在历经杂乱无序的腐朽衰败，和在渴望社会取得进步间徘徊的国家。为了能了解自己导师的死亡原因，米格尔通过萨尔瓦多所著的诗歌，故事，采访，小说和回忆录，来整理出死者生前轨迹。只字片语成为了模式，成为故事，成为史诗：长达几代人的革命奋斗，家庭责任，政治阴谋，以及一场人民与自己最坏的趋势所作的持久斗争。这是一部来自震动菲律宾文坛新秀，所著的充满着诙谐的，精湛的，活力的和丰富想象力的处女首秀力作。(Sandy)

Review
“Winner of the 2008 Man Asian Prize before it was even published, this dizzying and ambitious novel marks an auspicious start to Syjuco’s career. The apparent suicide of famous, down-on-his-luck Filipino author Crispin Salvador sends narrator Miguel Syjuco home to the Philippines to come to terms with the death of his literary mentor, research a biography he plans to write about him, and find the author’s lost manuscript. With flair and grace, Syjuco makes this premise bear much weight: the multigenerational saga of Salvador’s life, a history of the postwar Philippines, questions of literary ambitions and achievement, and the narrator’s own coming-of-age story. The expansive scope is tightly structured as a series of fragments: excerpts of Salvador’s works, found documents, Miguel’s narration of his return to the Philippines, blogs about contemporary terrorist incidents in Manila, and even a series of jokes that tell the story of a Filipino immigrant to America. Though murky at times, this imaginative first novel shows considerable ingenuity in binding its divergent threads into a satisfying, meaningful story.”---Publishers Weekly (starred review)
《ILUSTRADO》在一定程度上，赋予人们雄心壮志、语言的创造力和对社会政治的洞察力。精辟的设想，时尚的文风，作者用看似简单容易的技巧谱写了一段意义深远、时局动乱的历史时期。不修边幅的语言充斥着阵阵幽默，娱乐性极强——曼氏亚洲文学奖评审小组

’From the ruckus of rumors, blogs, ambitions, overweaning grandparents, indifferent History, and personal crimes, Miguel Syjuco has innovatively re-imagined that most wonderfully old-fashioned consolation: literature. Ilustrado is a great novel.’---Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances.
`Vulnerable and mischievous, sophisticated and naïve, Ilustrado explores the paradoxes that come with the search for identity and throws readers into the fragile space between self-pursuit and self-destruction. A novel about country and self, youth and experience, it is elegiac, thoughtful and original.’---Colin McAdam, author of Fall and Some Great Thing
