Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark anthology of short fiction presents six electrifying voices from Singapore: Alfian bin Sa’at, Wena Poon, Jeffrey Lim, Tan Mei Ching, Claire Tham, and Dave Chua. The tales they tell are graphic, gritty, and evocative, examining the lives of an array of complex characters, tormented by dilemmas that nonetheless go on to shape and direct them. Masterfully sequenced by editor Gwee Li Sui, and chosen for their perspectives on contemporary Singapore as much as for their own intrinsic merits as fiction, Telltale is a collection shedding new light on a budding literature of international merit.
