Free Advance Review Copy of the longest Singaporean novel ever!

 
Being the longest novel by a Singaporean, this novel connects with the readers deeply and personally because the writer wants the readers to understand the pain that he has gone through throughout his life, especially with his experiences with counselling, bullying experiences and various deaths that occurred in his life. Therefore, this novel gives a unique perspective to international audiences on the current, individual experience of a Singaporean living in Singapore. The writer has chosen this to be an experimental work because he wanted to have extreme freedom in writing based on his thoughts and emotions, allowing him to break literary boundaries with his personal story. This novel can be considered as a semi-biography but at the same time a work of fiction that fully represents the suffering and conditions that the author has gone through. In this novel, readers will not be protected from the ugly truth and be exposed to actual historical events as well as the author's endeavours in trying to express himself for the world to understand. Inspired by filmmakers like Shuji Terayama and writers like Yukio Mishima, the author is looking at bringing the Singaporean experience from an experimental perspective, allowing the themes of this novel to stand out, making this novel an exception in the literary world.

This novel was written as an insight into the life of a Singaporean author who is constantly struggling with societal expectations and the need to survive in this country that is constantly evolving with the changing international climate. The novel is supposed to be a compilation of various rejections that the author had experienced throughout his life as well as his own experiences that he has endured, intertwined with fiction that is part of the rejections that he experienced throughout his writing career. The writer wanted to express himself deeply because of his traumatic experiences and bring light to things that people normally do not hear about or hear little about, such as university bullying, workplace abuse, and suicidal tendencies.
