LAUNCH: "Bugis Nights", Chris Stowers

  • The Arts House 1 Old Parliament Lane Singapore Singapore (map)

Join us on Monday, 28th October at 5pm to hear from Chris!

Travel the trade winds from far east Indonesia to the Lion City aboard a Bugis spice ship named ‘God Bless’.

A young English backpacker runs into a bunch of French adventurers on a remote Indonesian island and gets swept up in their madcap scheme to buy a traditional wooden sailing ship from a people once famed as pirates—the Bugis—and sail it to distant Singapore.

Bugis Nights harks back to a Golden Age of travel, and a young man’s quest for adventure. Be magically transported between the sun-drenched islands and stormy crests of the Java Sea, the high roads of the Himalayas, and the promise of love, fostered in a Tibetan sandstorm.
