豹变 (Black Panther)

Co-Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize 2020 (Chinese, Fiction)

《豹变》收集了黄凯德过去创作发表的十部短篇小说，除了在本地报章发表之外，部分短篇小说也曾被翻译刊载在外国的文学平台。从殖民地年代跨越到独立建国时期，小说里的故事环节与背景，皆建立在真实的历史事件。这是凯德的『新加坡故事』，或者像法国学者李欧塔所谓的『小叙事』，志在重述那些微小的，可能被遗忘的时代断层。

Black Panther is a collection of 10 short stories published in local newspapers, and some which were translated and published in overseas literary platforms. Spanning from the colonial period to the modern independent era, the themes of the stories place historical incidents into a fictional framework that depicts the everyday lives of Singaporeans. It is the author’s own "Singapore Story", similar to French philosopher Jean François Lyotard’s retelling of forgotten events and weaving them into the fabric of a generation.
