“If you’ve never read Singaporean literature, this would be a good place to start. If Crazy Rich Asians was the last thing you read by a local author, even better. The authors’ names might fly under the radar, but their voices are all too familiar—they’re the voices of our neighbours, our colleagues, and our loved ones. And occasionally, they sound a lot like our own.”
—Wonderwall.sg
“Showcases the best in contemporary Singaporean writing now, with a diverse multitude of local voices that tackle their subjects with tooth and claw, flair and finesse.”
—Singapore Unbound
