Fish Eats Lion

by Jason Erik Lundberg
Fish Eats Lion
Fish Eats Lion

Diverse Singaporean speculative fiction anthology.

If you're keen on exploring a tapestry of narratives that defy the ordinary, "Fish Eats Lion" is a treasure trove. It's not just a collection; it's a gateway to the myriad possibilities that Singaporean writers envision within and beyond their city's borders. The stories are as eclectic as the city itself, transcending familiar genres and offering a smorgasbord of the fantastical and the futuristic. Whether you're in for literary discovery or sheer escapism, there's a story here for you.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Fish Eats Lion collects the best original speculative fiction being written in Singapore today, a home-grown anthology featuring a refreshing variety of voices and perspectives. Here are tales that are recognizably science fiction and fantasy, and others that blend genres and tropes, including absurdism, police procedural, fairy tales, steampunk, pre- and post-apocalypse, political satire, and alien first contact. These twenty-two stories—from emerging writers publishing their first work to winners of the Singapore Literature Prize and the Cultural Medallion—explore the fundamental singularity of the Lion City. This book is a celebration of the vibrant creative power underlying Singapore's inventive prose stylists, where what is considered normal and what is strange are blended in fantastic new ways.
