As requested, here is a list of Singaporean writers and their works you can check out. In Borders/Kino/PageOne/libraries, there should be a section for 'Local Literature'.

  • Catherine Lim - Little Ironies, Or Else, The Lightning God (they are both short stories collections)
  • Rex Shelley - The Shrimp People
  • Goh Sin Tub - One Singapore
  • Clare Tham - Fascist Rock (collection of short stories)
  • Stella Kon - Emily of Emerald Hill (it's a monologue)
  • Philip Jeyaretnam - Abraham's Promise (i think it's an O level text now)
  • Colin Cheong - The Stolen Child

There are also many many many many local poets and playwrights. Do a wikipedia search and you'll find names. We'll be doing poetry after Things Fall Apart so I'll definitely let you read some.

You can check out this page too - http://www.asean-coci.gov.sg/writer.html
