Description

Other Cities, Other Lives is a collection of micro-fiction from one of Singapore’s pioneer Chinese writers that features characters living through a time of volatile change in the region. Short travelogues are populated with swindlers and enterprising tour guides, where nothing is as it seems. Closer to home, husbands, wives and children are captured in a state of flux. Told in the elegant, spare style of a Chinese scholar, this is the first collection of Chew Kok Chang’s works to be translated into English.
