Myth of the Stone: 20th Anniversary Edition

“This is a wondrous revisitation of an original, literary and artful tale. Gwee Li Sui is a spell-wright at the height of his imaginative powers.”
—Aaron Lee, poet and 2008 Singapore Literature Prize finalist

“To find this book is like discovering a four-leaf clover in the grass. Reading Myth made me realise the Muses do not discriminate among nationalities when they strike.”
—Wena Poon, author of Alex y Robert 

“Dr Gwee has created a protagonist whose experiences demostrate to us the importance having faith in oneself to carry on with a daunting task even as the prospects and outcome may seem bleak...one should totally buy [Myth of the Stone] before it goes out of stock.”
—The Sick Romantic
