I am participating on the panel “Writers Across Cultures – Fiction Through a Foreign Lense” at the 2011 Singapore Writers Festival (SWF). The SWF is a multi-lingual, multi-disciplinary festival which hosts authors from across the world. Do come down on 29 October between 5-6 at the Arts House to that panel and attend all the other interesting panels and discussions, meet the authors and have a good time. Check it all out at www.singaporewritersfestival.com.
These kind words from Paul Tan, Director of the SWF 2011.
| “In the first three volumes of The Straits Quartet, you have given new life and clarity to a part of Singapore history that many of us have studied in secondary school, if not heard from our grandparents and great grandparents. It would certainly be a great honour if the festival could feature you in this edition and share your writing, your experiences and your knowledge with a larger audience. Indeed, your presence and participation in SWF 2011 would certainly enrich the festival and literary scene of Singapore.”
