  Featuring new translations of previously untranslated Chinese short stories, Memorandum maps out seven decades of Sinophone Singaporean Literature. From bargirls to student activists, from trishaw men to tea merchants, this collection provides a glimpse into a world that has been previously invisible to Anglophone readers. Paired with critical essays, these stories showcase the richness and diversity of Singapore’s Chinese community, but also its inherent interconnectedness with other cultures within Singapore. 
   
  “Memorandum is a pathbreaking anthology that refracts over half a century of Singapore’s history through its lens. The translated stories do much more than simply bridge Sinophone and Anglophone worlds: they actively cross geographical, cultural, linguistic and class boundaries, causing us to think more deeply about the nature of social power, and the transformative interventions literary texts can make.” 
  -Philip Holden, scholar of Singapore &Southeast Asian literatures

  George de Clare thought moving to Manhattan would be an escape. Instead, it's become another performance. 
  Between failed relationships, awkward hookups, and the exhausting work of being "too British" for Americans and "not queer enough" for anyone, George is unravelling. A disastrous trip to Los Angeles with his boyfriend Charlie ends with George fleeing back to New York—alone, broke, and wondering if his queerness is a burden he'll carry forever. 
  But his best friend Jon sees it differently. What if being queer isn't the problem—it's the solution? 
  As George rebuilds his life, he learns to stop running from himself. He pitches his app to former hookups, recruits the influencer he once dismissed, and returns to the water that reminds him who he was before the chaos. From Brooklyn breakups to Pelham rowing clubs, George discovers that his identity isn't something to overcome—it's the thread connecting him to everyone who matters. 
  Too British, Not Queer Enough is a sharp, funny, achingly honest story about expat life, queer community, and learning that the parts of yourself you've been hiding might be exactly what sets you free. 
  Perfect for readers who loved Red, White & Royal Blue, Boyfriend Material, and David Sedaris's essays on cultural dislocation.
