Unique A Collection of Moving and Thought-Provoking Short Stories.

This book would be a great read for anyone who enjoys thought-provoking and emotionally resonant short stories. Each story in "This Is Where I Won't Be Alone" is beautifully crafted and explores themes of identity, displacement, and the human need for connection. The author, Inez Tan, takes readers on a journey through various settings and time periods, from Singapore to London, San Francisco, and even the moon. The stories are diverse and engaging, leaving readers with a profound sense of introspection and a yearning to find their own place in the world.

Description

A pair of twins tries desperately to survive their education. A sentient oyster ponders the concept of making time. An unemployed man devises a social experiment with ants. A runaway sees a vision. From the 1990s to a future where people access information through chips implanted in their heads, from the Singaporean heartland to London, San Francisco, and the moon, these stories hold in tension the strangeness of displacement and a deep yearning for connection in their relentless search for who and what to call home.
