Three short stories that share a theme of introspective journeys through the inextricable twists and turns of the main characters.
In Side Chick, the main character addresses three women involved with a man who has already committed to someone else. She encourages them to recognize their own self-worth and urges them to stop giving men power in these situations. She empowers them to build their self-esteem, take control of their lives, and realize that they are more than enough to deserve their own relationships without relying on someone else's man.Mostra libro
Singapore Literature Prize winner Yong Shu Hoong’s latest book features more than just poetry. There is also a ghostly tale at its core, complete with prose poems and micro fiction of exactly 100 words each, as well as annotated excerpts from an abandoned work. In this viewing party, readers are invited to take a peek into the domain of death and cinema. You are part of a mob of dispassionate onlookers. Sometimes, you get to play the voyeuristic judge. Winner of the 2014 Singapore Literature Prize for English Poetry “There’s a warm easiness to Yong’s voice that’s balanced by a sharpness of insight. He cuts through the layers of familial and social habit to the unseen images and urges that give the mundane the sheen of the numinous. If the book is a viewing party, Yong is a genial and attentive host, inviting us in to absorbing scenes of everyday curiosity and surprise.” -Jen Crawford, Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Creative Writing Programme at Nanyang Technological University, SingaporeMostra libro
