Union: 50 Years of Writing from Singapore and 15 Years of Drunken Boat by Alvin Pang, Ravi Shankar
cherrytan's review
4.0
Awesome writing, as is expected, though it did feel like I was getting nowhere with this so slightly after the halfway mark I skimmed through the rest.
On a positive note, "Tales of Rabiah" by Noor Hasnah Adam (translated by Muhammad Ridzal Abdul Hamid) really stuck with me and brought me to tears. What this collection did do was to bring to my attention more writers that I was previously unaware of. For that and the quality of writing by the various authors, I give this book 4 stars. Could do better with a clearer sense of direction and aims.
