LivingwithMyths

Gwee Li Sui helping to answer!: not sure what "the state of" Singapore literature means. popularly? economically? politically? aesthetically? experimentally? educationally? developmentally?

and yes, fictional works can inform our understanding of Singapore's history/ies. it can expose/educate/sway/confuse us on the subtle realities and potential of a time and its issues as they are lived.

are there any works that have stood out in this regard? so many! in English alone, here are a few: Lloyd Fernando's "Scorpion Orchid", Suchen Christine Lim's "The River's Song", Gopal Baratham's "A Candle or the Sky", Meira Chand's "A Different Sky"...

Thanks!

"I refer to original sin by Kumar Ramakrishna, it is professional for the author to quote sources from ISD. How can we verify that what were said in the ISD document is fact? Thanks!"
