The invitation to speak at this forum came as a surprise, for I've never participated in an event at the Malay Heritage Centre before. It looks to be a different crowd from the one I've encountered before, but we'll see.

As part of the National Reading Movement, this year's Read! Fest centres around the theme of happiness. Happiness is arguably something we all seek; what constitutes happiness and whether we can truly attain it are separate matters. Be that as it may, the question of happiness, then, becomes more complex when we talk about happiness in writing. Is it harder to write about happiness than sadness?
This is where I jump in. Join me and fellow Singapore Literature Prize nominees Charmaine Chan & Nuraliah Norasid as we discuss creating literary works in the (elusive) pursuit of happiness. Because this is also a Singapore Literature Prize event, we'll also be sharing our experiences writing our shortlisted books—which in my case is Bitter Punch. Event Details Date: 19 July 2018 (Thu) Time: 7.00pm–8.30pm Venue: Programme Zone, Basement 1, Central Public Library Click here to register. Admission's free! |
