LAUNCH: "Best New Singaporean Short Stories: Volume Six"

  • National Library Building 100 Victoria Street Singapore, 188064 Singapore (map)

Out of all the hundreds of stories published by Singaporean writers in 2021 and 2022, the nineteen pieces published in Best New Singaporean Short Stories: Volume Six represent the very best fiction being written and published by local writers today.

Join us and celebrate the release of this anthology of short stories from the series that Singapore Unbound claims “showcases the best in contemporary Singaporean writing now, with a diverse multitude of local voices that tackle their subjects with tooth and claw, flair and finesse”. Guest editor Gwee Li Sui and three of our contributors will present the visions of Singapore conjured in these stories, and discuss what went into their creation.

The book will be available for sale and will be signed by the editors and contributors at the event.
