Passages: Stories of Unspoken Journeys
Passages: Stories of Unspoken Journeys

Human spirit triumphs in Singapore's hidden corners.

If you appreciate profound narratives that illuminate the often overlooked aspects of society, "Passages: Stories of Unspoken Journeys" could resonate with you deeply. The book offers a rare vista into the lives of those on the margins in Singapore, conveyed through a prism of empathy and understanding by local writers. It's not just a collection of stories; it's a bridge to the resilience and beauty found in the human spirit, even amidst struggle.

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

Every year, between 2011 and 2013, the Singapore Writers Festival invited eight Singapore writers to embark on a sobering journey - to meet with a segment of Singapore's population whose plights and struggles in life are often left in the shadows. This special project was named Passages. From informal conversations with senior citizens at a hospice or their homes, low-income families trying to make ends meet, and former offenders who have spent time in prison, these writers were inspired to pen their original tales of hardship and heartbreak, often depicting how the human spirit can triumph over great adversities. This anthology compiles a selection of stories from all the three years of the project.
