Many of the internationally acclaimed works collected in this volume are available here in English for the first time, presented in fluent, sensitive, and culturally attuned versions. From a popular Chinese form of nonfiction to a magic realist short story to a long urban poem, all forms are on display in these examples of modern literary imagination from Singapore.

-
It was out of my curiosity when I picked up this book at BooksActually's bookshelves in Singapore, sometime ago. This book is a contemporary collection of writing, which written by some Singaporean writers. You would find a wonderful story about Singaporean life, and they also described Singapore's daily matter through poems. This book is a must read collection, if you are really curious how Singapore's society has been developed their life through years.
