Balik Kampung 2B: Contemplations
Edited by Verena Tay
Balik Kampung 2B: Contemplations presents nine new tales in the Balik Kampung series whereby authors write short stories based on the neighbourhoods that they have lived in for at least ten years. How does one's environment affect one's outlook in life? Is your home your identity? How do people react to a specific place over time? The various short stories within this collection ponder over these questions and more. By the time you reach the last page, you are guaranteed to view parts of Singapore with a fresh perspective.
