A British officer falls in love with a Chinese rickshaw coolie as Singapore falls to the Japanese; a singing teacher despairs when his student insists on singing Wagner at her debut recital; and a workman from Bangladesh struggles to cope so far from home: just a few of the characters in this collection of twelve tragicomic stories about Singapore, previously published in Singaporean and South East Asian literary journals. What people are saying: 'Daniel Emlyn-Jones' Eastlit work exhibits a great sensitivity to local culture, which he brings to life in his writing.' Graham Lawrence, co-founder and chief editor of Eastlit, a literary journal for South East Asia. 'Daniel Emlyn-Jones writes with great clarity, sincerity, and cultural sensitivity. His stories made me laugh and made me cry.' Dr. Jock Wong, Lecturer, Centre for English Language Communication, National University of Singapore. Author of 'The Culture of Singapore English'.
