Reckonings with mortality; frictions in family relationships and friendships; the pressures of social media. Quanderings that make up the contemporary human existence. Join Yu-Mei Balasingamchow in conversation with Anittha Thanabalan (Author of The Lights that Find Us), Jinny Koh (Author of The Gods Will Hear Us Eventually) and Rachel Heng (Author of Suicide Club) as they discuss these themes in fiction writing and grapple with important questions of our time: how are we living now and how will we continue?
How We Live Now offers a multi-faceted, multi-voiced view of contemporary life in Singapore: its comforts and conflicts, personal tragedies and social tensions, and also opportunities for joy, hope and empathy.
Featuring an exciting ensemble of both established and new writers, the stories invite readers to think seriously about the world around them, with urgent contemporary challenges such as social inequality and mental health, as well as age-old frictions in personal relationships and friendships.
