Tigers in Paradise: The Collected Works of Philip Jeyaretnam

Singapore through Jeyaretnam's reflective, compelling prose.

If you're interested in exploring the nuanced perspectives of Singapore, this anthology by Philip Jeyaretnam will not disappoint. From the moral complexities captured in 'Raffles Place Ragtime' to the deeply personal journeys in 'Abraham's Promise,' you'll find a rich tapestry of stories and essays reflecting on love, ambition, and identity. With the cultural backdrop of Singapore guiding these narratives, it's a read that connects universal themes through the lens of a distinctive locale.
