520			_aIn Yeo Wei Wei’s debut collection of stories, secret hopes, desires, and regrets are revealed through obsessions and events that collide and merge with everyday life. A wife returns home to find that her husband has remarried… An old woman in a nursing home is visited by a mynah that sings a Beatles song… An artist remembers the time he was harangued by rambutans, mangoes and other fruits in his studio…. In crystalline prose suffused with a dark sense of humour, these stories offer glimpses of inner worlds that are sharp, strange, and haunting.
