Sinopsis

Life in Singapore is good, sometimes even — dare we say it? — absurd. In Singapore Siu Dai, Felix Cheong, with a little help from illustrator PMan, finds humour in the everyday. From our kiasu behaviour to weird geographical boundaries called GRCs and OB markers, no quirk is left unturned. 
 
These 50 short stories, praised by Singapore’s top humorists for their brew of wit and snappy storytelling, will raise the so-called SG Conversation to a new, satirical pitch. So laugh along as we look forward to Singapore’s 50th birthday! 
 
“Read Felix’s twisted but funny stories about life, love, school, men, women, stupidity and some more subjects as well. These stories are fresh material. Instead of thinking that life is great and spend time yanking a nose hair, you should sit back, relax and enjoy Singapore Siu Dai.” 
- Moe Alkaff, comedian

Short stories featuring “crimes of passion, politics, and perversity,” set in this tumultuous South American city (Publishers Weekly).   It is a city of contradictions and chaos; crude, transitory violence, the lack of law and order, the ubiquitously hurled insult, the thunderous boom of traffic, and honking curses. Its inhabitants love the city and hate it—from the multimillionaires of Puerto Madero to the workers in the “misery cities,” the poorest neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. Often the mansions are separated from the shanties by nothing but a single street or railroad track.   These short stories of crime and corruption from a lineup of excellent authors highlights the relations between the social and economic classes—their tensions, their cruelties, and also their love—in a city that has reinvented itself many times over.   Brand-new stories by Inés Garland, Inés Fernández Moreno, Ariel Magnus, Alejandro Parisi, Pablo De Santis, Verónica Abdala, Alejandro Soifer, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, Ernesto Mallo, Enzo Maqueira, Elsa Osorio, Leandro Ávalos Blacha, Claudia Piñeiro, and María Inés Krimer.   “As editor Mallo says, Buenos Aires is a city ‘in love with its own disorder’ . . . . Murder most foul, the star attraction of almost any good noir, makes several appearances here . . . .Mallo’s well-balanced collection gives readers a glimpse of both the geography of Buenos Aires and its heart.” —Kirkus Reviews

From New York City to the former East Germany, from rural Virginia to affluent suburbia, the characters in these short stories grapple with love, loss, greed, perversion, and other awful truths as they try to transcend their limitations with occasional humor and dignity. In "History on a Personal Note," Lorraine, a Southerner, wonders if her German paramour will find the inspiration to leave his wife amidst the destruction of the Berlin Wall. In "Viewing Stacy from Above," a pregnant woman descends into a pit of despair as she contemplates the constraints of motherhood. In "Money Honey," a young adulteress who ditches her husband is reprimanded by an extended family of elders whose morals are even more dubious than her own.Contemplative, allegorical, and witty, History on a Personal Note takes us into a world laced with black humor and makes us laugh -- until it hurts.
