  Mashi and Other Stories -...

  Rabindranath Tagore

  Bengal in short compass: an aunt who has given her whole life to a household that does not notice, a postmaster posted to a village he cannot bear, a wife who reads her husband correctly and says nothing. Tagore won the Nobel in 1913, the first non-European to do so, and founded a school where lessons were held under the trees; these stories are where his prose is coldest and best. Fifty-six plates of houses, women at doorways and winter light, among them Munch and Abanindranath Tagore, run from 1820 to 1927 alongside these tales of household and village.

  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, Singapore

  It is a bright sunny morning, and a giant of a man is walking through bracken fern. Suddenly, he hears a voice from a tiny fairy down below: he's accidentally stood on her wing. What happens next is part of a collection of short stories with unresolved endings.  These stories are based on fiction, although they could happen. With a little bit of imagination anything is possible! Inspiration for these stories comes from thoughts and dreams and from his TAFE teacher Graham who encouraged him to write these stories.

  Girls who wander into the forest at night never return quite the same... 
  When a peasant girl follows glowing mushrooms into the forbidden forest, she discovers the witch waiting in the cave wears her own face—and the mad queen in the castle does too. 
  In a kingdom gripped by famine, young Carys has always been the wild child her mother couldn't tame. But when mysterious mushrooms begin to glow at her touch and lead her deep into the forest, she stumbles into an impossible truth: she is the witch, she will become the queen, and time itself has trapped her in an endless cycle. 
  As Carys learns to see the hidden threads connecting past, future, and the secret stores of food that could save her starving family, she must choose between remaining the girl she was or becoming the powerful, feared woman she's destined to be. But in a story where the ending is also the beginning, can she find a way to break free—or is she doomed to walk the same path forever? 
  Perfect for fans of Alix E. Harrow and Naomi Novik, A Girl Made of Time is a lyrical, genre-bending tale of magic, sacrifice, and the impossible weight of living three lives at once.
