It wasn't love, really. They were just trying to make something out of their lives. Kyoto, 1996, during the passing of Comet Hyakutake: A runaway from Singapore discovers a woman crying in front of a train station at 5.46am. A Straits Times journalist later arrives with her gallerist friend from Madrid, dreading the reenactment of her mother's performance art. The lives of these four friends—Isaac, Tori, Jing and Mateo—become entangled as a result of one madcap weekend, when fireworks are inexplicably shot over the Kamo River and people become swept to alternate worlds via public transport. Daryl Qilin Yam’s genre-defying second novel ranges across countries and decades, charting the tributaries of pain we thread with our friends and the arcs of the many stories we tell in order to live.
Sally Bong is the typical do-gooder. But her journey as an exemplary citizen of Singapore is put into question when she meets people on the margins, upending everything she has learned in school. In a follow-up to the hilarious Let’s Give It Up for Gimme Lao!, Sebastian Sim delves deeper into a nation’s psyche with more shrewd humour than ever before. Reader Reviews: “An acerbic wit. Sim’s prose zips along breezily.” –The Straits Times “Hilarious and almost absurdist in its storytelling, And the Award Goes to Sally Bong! strings watershed events in Singapore’s short history with the life of a dauntless but heartfelt protagonist, homing in on what it means to lead our best and authentic lives.” –Cyril Wong, Singapore Literature Prize-winning author of This Side of Heaven
Kevin is a young man without a soul, holidaying in Tokyo; Mr Five, the enigmatic kappa, is the man he so happens to meet. Little does Kevin know that kappas—the river demons of Japanese folklore—desire nothing more than the souls of other humans. Set between Singapore and Japan, Kappa Quartet is split into eight discrete sections, tracing the rippling effects of this chance encounter across a host of other characters, connected and bound to one another in ways both strange and serendipitous. Together they ask one another: what does it mean to be in possession of something nobody has seen before?

Are you interested in art and humanities? Have you been learning English for a long time but feel that you do not have enough confidence to survive in this specialized context? Would you like to learn the necessary strategies and skills? English for Art and Humanities has been especially designed for university students or professionals who would like to use and improve their English in areas such as history, art history, literature, film and media and language. This book integrates practice on the four language skills (reading, listening, speaking and writing) and will offer you the opportunity to benefit not only professionally but also at a social and emotional level. An important aspect that has been developed is acquiring intercultural competence in a globalized world. Our approach has been a very practical one based on the different tasks that you may encounter in various specialized contexts: teaching, research, dealing with artistic and multimedia projects, art galleries, museums, conservation, libraries, etc. You will learn to carry out tasks such as commenting on a work of art, writing a literary review, providing conservation advice, advertising a product or service and writing your own curriculum vitae, "bio", or cover letter. The book is accompanied by a CD in which you will be able to listen to authentic material ranging from poems, speeches or biographical data to an oral presentation.
