Eight Muses of the Fall by Edgar Calabia Samar
This novel is on the one hand a young man’s frustrated attempt to write the great Filipino novel, and on the other, his coming to terms with the futility of his search for his lost mother.

Along the way, he is guided and misdirected by some muses and demons to reimagine his personal past without the burden of national history.

He will be forced to accept that truth can somehow be in the deceptive, inchoate recreation of memories, without which, the fall seems inevitable.
