Coast: A Mono-Titular Anthology of Singapore Writing - Thryft

Coast: Evocative musings on identity and geography.

If the interplay of place and self fascinates you, "Coast" might be a remarkable journey through Singapore's literary landscapes. With its unique anthology style, it isn't just about stories—it's about feeling the pulse of a place that's both land and sea, searching for meaning in its margins. Daren Shiau expertly curates this exploration, perhaps guiding you to discover your own edges and the language that dances there.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The word "coast" has its origin in Latin: costa, meaning "rib" or side," is an exact aspect of body and so ties the coast anatomically to the body of a territory. Yet, the coast is as much sea as land too, although this duality renders it not richer or denser but surprisingly thinner in both elemental qualities, being neither land nor sea enough. Here is every fertile terrain's natural desert and wasteland, the space where main land finally discovers its edge, its finitude, while dreams of being elsewhere become suddenly tolerable.This anthology is nothing short of a manifesto, a call to stretch out the tent poles of language and go in search of an idiom for making destiny. Coast is a literary experiment that hopes to reflect a variety of creative works from published and unpublished writers across a single title.
