An Indonesian man is swept out to sea by the tsunami and encounters a floating tree filled with naked girls; a cat is successful in his application to become head of a government department; and a senior demon writes a progress report for his master on the state of the country. Elsewhere, characters struggle to make sense of mysterious events: a hungry student finds a clutch of eggs left on the doorstep; a child received paintings of herself on her birthday each year from an absent father; an elderly uncle claims the moon-shaped scars on his ear lobes are of supernatural provenance. There are pieces here about longing and loss, guilt and betrayal, and the struggle to stay afloat in difficult relationships. And of course about how it feels to return home. Bernice Chauly and Sharon Bakar select the best poetry, fiction and creative non-fiction submitted by Malaysian, Singaporean and expatriate writers who have read their work at their live literary event, Readings, and demonstrate the sheer variety and range of voices that characterize the local writing scene. You will find works from both established poets and authors, and from promising new writers making their debut. If ever evidence were needed that the local writing community is thriving -- this is it. Readings from Readings celebrates Kuala Lumpur's longest-running live literature event. Founded in 2005 by Bernice Chauly, Readings provides a regular place in which local writers and readers can connect in an informal atmosphere. Paperback, Ausgabe: 1, Label: Word Works, Word Works, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2011-03-15, Studio: Word Works, Verkaufsrang: 5197598.
