The Colin Cheong Collection


S$25.00
  • Prolific writer Colin Cheong brings together three classic novellas and 23 short stories in this first-ever collection. Written in the 1990s, each story reflects his prowess as a storyteller. He is known for his sensitive and skillful articulation of some universal human themes — the pain of rejected love, the frustration and anticipation of being ‘almost adult’, the rites of passage to adulthood, and man’s need for woman. 

    This collection comprises: 
    Seventeen (novella, published 1996) 
    Poets, Priests and Prostitutes (novella, published 1990) 
    The Man in the Cupboard (novella, published 1999) – won the Merit Award, Singapore Literature Prize 1998 
    Life Cycle of Homo Sapiens, Male (short stories, published 1992) 
    Five new stories, previously only published in The Straits Times
