","literature":"","write_up":"After the publication of his Olvidos de Filipinas, Entrala continued with a novel published a year before his death—Sin Titulo. This work presents a more avant-garde approach to costumbrismo, which often lacks analysis of the society it depicts. Sin Titulo tells the story of two doctors—the Spanish Don Paco Alonso and the Chinese mestizo Tiang-Song—and the beautiful, young mestiza Rosario “Charing” Anselmo. The plot revolves around the doctors' clashes over Charing's life, who was struck with an illness following the 1863 Manila earthquake. She is brought to Tiang-Song, a mediquillo, whom her father prefers because of his familiarity with traditional medication over the Westerntrained Don Paco. But when Tiang-Song's interventions further worsen Charing's condition, Don Paco exploits the chance of curing her with Western medicine. John D. Blanco writes in ‘Frontier Constitutions’ that the struggle between the main characters “becomes an allegory for larger divisions at work in the Philippines from the perspective of the late Spanish colonialist: cosmopolitanism vs. parochialism, the social bond of marriage vs. the web of kinship, Spanish vs. Chinese influences over native society, and, ultimately, reason vs. faith.” (A.M.)","lot_group":"BOOKS","lot_details_html":"
