Description
“In this new collection by a seasoned master, Kim Cheng Boey moves between Singapore and Australia, youth and middle age – places and times rendered in vivid, sensory detail – to give a haunting exploration of memory and the emigrant experience: departures and arrivals; family and home; exile, longing and loss. ‘In this work of a mature artist, Kim Cheng Boey’s characteristic style – literary, allusive, with a flaneur’s sensibility – is on full display.” — Shirley Geok-lin Lim
