In Places We Find Ourselves

A chronicle of lost souls, misfits and sinners these stories explore transcendence and grief and the search for redemption.

The characters in this collection of stories are people we all know. People like ourselves, searching and yearning, often in the wrong places for something meaningful and real or for at least a brief moment, right. A real-estate agent tries to sell a home to a feuding couple while his own marriage is being tested; a divorcee resigned to drink and television for company finds pleasures of life with another woman; and the price a mother pays when love and its irrationality blinds her to her parental duties. In these stories what is excavated and revealed lies at the heart of Singaporean lives.
