Best of Singapore
Erotica
L.Q. Pan & Richard Lord (Editors)
In this first-ever compendium of erotic writing from Singapore, we
are presented with a selection of short stories, poetry and
narrative nonfiction that is as hot and steamy as the city-state
itself.
From the Indonesian maid to the Singaporean prostitute, the local
schoolteacher to the American expatriate, the twenty-seven
contributions in this book embrace a wide range of erotic beliefs
and practices. Absolutely nothing is out of bounds, offering
readers a glimpse into the erotic lives of Singapore's
inhabitants.
Gerrie Lim, author of bestselling Invisible Trade, reports on the
island's hidden world of high-end escorts in Walking The Dog, Singapore Young
Artist Award-winner Felix Cheong muses on exotic dancers and their
customers in Dancer from the
Dance and Singapore's hottest blogger, Miss Izzy, serves up
some raunchy new fiction with Club Koyaanisquatsi. Local luminaries
Kirpal Singh and Robert Yeo weigh in with poetry and prose, and are
joined by well-known Singapore writers Cyril Wong and Chris
Mooney-Singh.
The subject of virginity loss is approached from various
standpoints, in one story a Singaporean woman joyfully loses her
virginity at an early age, while in another she keeps it well into
her thirties, despite enjoying a steady stream of erotic fantasies.
The female voice is articulated in a variety of social settings by
Samarah Zafirah, Meihan Boey, Alice Lee Am and Alison Lester.
Best of Singapore Erotica
is a timely addition to the small but growing body of contemporary
Asian erotic literature and successfully showcases the best writing
from Singapore, assembled into Asia's sexiest anthology to
date.
