25 wonderful stories full of wit and charm from Chinese-Malaysian writer Sih-Li Kow, Shortlisted for the 2009 Frank O'Connor Short Story Award. "If you were getting tired of fiction, this is the place to have your faith renewed in the beauty and the terror of the imaginary… characters, locations and events from earlier stories will pop up in subsequent ones, adding shade and dimension to the earlier appearances... in a social environment like Malaysia, they get complicated further by our famously fraught cultural and historical matrices," says Amir Muhammad (author, filmmaker, critic).
