( Growing up in Singapore seen through the eyes of Yong - dealing with the death of his grandmother, upheavals in his family, run-ins with the neighbourhood gang leader, etc. I liked this! Sweet and sharply written. )

( I am not sure how I felt about this! Also I talk about the Brontes a lot. \o? )
Gaspp: A Gay Anthology of Singapore Poetry and Prose, edited by Ng Yi-Sheng.
( A bit hit-and-miss. Some of the inclusions I really enjoyed, though. )
