“e.g., provides a home to fresh, focused pieces of writing—experiments, explorations, and false starts—no less elegant, nor less refreshing, for being so curious.”

e.g. Anthology 1 is a collection of works from e.g.’s maiden year. Among the featured works are the intimate writings of the late Vicente L. Rafael, an eminent postcolonial historian whose academic works shaped Philippine and Southeast Asian historiography.

This inaugural issue of the annual e.g. anthology was created in conversation with our book catalogue—Exploding Galaxies’ canon of lost Philippine classics. This year’s anthology aims to widen the field in which we discuss our classics and to reinvest contemporary meaning into our long literary tradition, renewing the connections between past and contemporary, classic and experimental, lost and deleted.
