Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })December 1, 2002 — Miguel Syjuco is en route to Manila. Ten months earlier, the body of his mentor, the Filipino author Crispin Salvador, was found floating in the Hudson River — spread-eagled and barely clothed. And the manuscript of his reportedly groundbreaking to-be-published work, The Bridges Ablaze, is missing.Moved by the death of his long-time mentor and friend, Miguel sets out on a journey to assemble bits and pieces of his mentor's life story from all of his works and friends and find out why Crispin Salvador became the man he is, and along the way, discover how their lives are connected.Ilustrado, from the Spanish word for the educated Filipino class in the Spanish colonial era, is a novel by Miguel Syjuco which explores Philippine history through the lives and genealogies of the narrator and the Posthumous Character of Crispin Salvador.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Awesome McCoolname: You have to wonder whether the author isn't invoking this in some way. We have Antonio Astignote meaning "awesome" or "hardcore" from Manila Noir, the security guard-turned-vigilante Wigberto Lakandula, and Crispin's Grandfather, Cristobal Narciso Patricio Salvador.

Author Avatar: Zigzagged in a really weird way — Miguel is probably an author avatar, but it turns out that Crispin Salvador was writing the novel all along.

Alternate History: Though Corazon Aquino mentioned several times, her successors, Fidel V. Ramos and Joseph Estrada, weren't mentioned but instead, the president featured in the novel is Estregan.
