Spaces

Exploring personal and physical spaces' intricacies.

"Spaces" could be a fascinating pick for you if you're intrigued by the complexities of human emotion and relationships set against the backdrop of ever-changing urban landscapes. Verena Tay masterfully weaves tales that delve deep into personal experiences while reflecting broader societal changes, all encapsulated within the vibrant context of Singapore. Her experimental narratives will likely resonate with you if you appreciate literary diversity and a strong sense of place.

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

From a man with a hair fetish to a younger sister fighting to accept her elder sister's marriage, from a retiree downgrading from the terrace house where he raised his family to a fantastical history of a local neighbourhood, from a security guard's relationship with a Filipino maid to an encounter with a building too avant-garde and high tech in design, from a taxi driver bumping into his ex-wife within his cab to an imagined retelling of the life and times of Mimi Wong (the first woman executed for murder after Singapore's independence): each story within Spaces: People / Places explores the interior landscapes of the various protagonists and / or the exterior settings amidst which each protagonist functions. Verena Tay's second short story collection is a book that, once opened, you can't put down.
