The Ties That Bite

By Jansen Lim

In this collection of eight loosely connected short stories, Jansen Lim explores the gamut of human condition from love and loss to karma and insecurity: a woman whose deep-seated love for canines threatens to rupture her relationship with her dog-averse, cantankerous beau; a corporate executive in his fifties who loses his job and finds it challenging to secure employment; a sarong party girl who'd rather settle for less than excise her objects of desire; a casual fling between two men which devolves into a game of unexpected consequence. Inspired by real-life events and anecdotes, these stories allow the reader to burrow into their layers, honing each instance of exploit, affection and confrontation to a precise pitch.
