Book Synopsis The Wayang at Eight Milestone by : Gregory Nalpon

Download or read book The Wayang at Eight Milestone written by Gregory Nalpon and published by Epigram Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long overdue collection gathers together sixteen of Gregory Nalpon’s short stories, eleven of his essays, and a selection of his sketches of life in coffee shops, hawker stalls and samshu shops. Through his writing, Nalpon poignantly records a lost, rich world: the colourful, exciting and sometimes perilous Singapore of half a century ago. With this collection, a vital Singaporean voice is finally recovered. Nalpon’s inspired blend of close observation, legend, local superstition and peculiarly eclectic reading results in some of the most imaginative and exciting writing produced in Singapore during the 1960s and 1970s, including authentic descriptions of indigenous culture and working-class men and women rarely found in Singaporean writing of the period.
