Regrettably, it is a past that has given way to a sobering and detached present. The tales in Dark Blue Suit grow out of this lingering desire to conjure up the images of the past. Thick with sentimentalism and longing at every turn, Peter Bacho's stories fight to keep the commemorative past nearby, still within the reach of those many Filipino Americans who desire to look back upon a life that is truly worth remembering.
