Award-winning poet Yi-Sheng mixes myths, mystery and magic in a melting pot to paint a quirky, and sometimes dark, picture of an alternative Singapore, where anything—and everything—can happen.
A man learns that all the animals in the Singapore Zoo are robots. A secret terminal in Changi Airport caters to the gods. A prince falls in love with a crocodile. A concubine is lost in time. The island of Singapore disappears. These exquisitely strange tales make up the first collection of short fiction by award-winning poet and playwright Ng Yi-Sheng. Infused with magical realism and contemporary sci-fi, each of these stories invite the reader to see this citystate in a new and darkly fabulous light.
