HISTORY AS LITERARY NARRATIVES - CAMILLE DENISE...

This study examines F. Sionil Jose's Viajero and Alfred Yusons Great Philippine Jungle Energy
Café as works of historiographic metafiction written under a postcolonial project. A reimaging
of historical events through fiction allows both authors to illustrate counter-memory to fill
gaps in popular  written history. By journeying through Philippine history and re-imagining
events to fit their own representation  the authors could give light to certain parts of
Philippine history that have somehow been suppressed or silenced and forgotten. Through use of
fiction  F. Sionil Jose and Alfred Yuson were able to recreate Philippine history by
rediscovering the lost memories of the Filipino people.
