Award-winning stories that travel into the heart of the Singaporean-Malaysian diaspora, and ask what it means to be ''Asian''.
Four Asian writers are flummoxed by the sexual shenanigans that start when a handsome young Asian writer joins their support group; three Singaporean daughters welcome their mother on a first visit to London and quarrel over steamboat; a Chinese woman raps about being a Tiger Mother. Elaine Chiew drills below the surface of her characters'' circumstances with exemplary narrative skill and subtlety. Her stories are as varied, worldly and emotionally resonant as the characters themselves. This is a fabulous debut collection and heralds an exciting new literary talent.
