Capsule: A Dose of New Singaporean Writing

By Yujen Chang

Poetry. Fiction. Asian Studies. This is the first indie anthology of Singaporean writing -- nineteen new voices (young and old, ranting and restrained, daydreaming and sober) all channeled into one over-the-counter volume of prose and poetry. For a nation buzzing with coffee-shop banter, hawker lore, and taxi-driver dialects, Singapore has a strangely highbrow literary scene. CAPSULE changes all that with itsenergetic, street-oriented writing: Life in this particular restaurant is especially shitty. Not only does the food suck but the attitude of the owners is cynical and patronizing, and the whole place stinks like fuck (Life in a Shitty Restaruant, Sharon Koh).
