Impractical Uses of Cake

by Yeoh Jo-Ann
RM21.72 MYR
Impractical Uses of Cake
Impractical Uses of Cake

Solitude, serendipity, and sweet confections intertwine.

If you've ever found comfort in routines yet also felt the tug of unexpected connections, "Impractical Uses of Cake" could resonate deeply with you. It's a gentle nudge reminding us how the simplest of things, like a shared love for cake, can lead to profound changes in our comfortably solitary lives. This book might just be the companion you need to explore themes of friendship, love, and the sacrifices we didn't know we were willing to make.

Description

Winner of the 2018 Epigram Books Fiction Prize. Sukhin is a thirty-five-year-old teacher who lives alone. His life consists of reading, working, and visiting his parents' house to rearrange his piles of "collectibles". He has only one friend, another teacher who has managed to force Sukhin into a friendship by sheer doggedness. While on an errand one afternoon in Chinatown, he encounters a homeless person who recognizes him. This chance reunion turns Sukhin's well-planned life upside down, and the pair learns about love and sacrifice over their shared fondness for cake.
