| Synopsis: |
A mother finds out her son is gay; a daughter finds out her two mothers are lesbians; a niece stumbles upon the body of her dead uncle dressed in his wife's sarong kebaya; and an old man's nascent feelings for a Filipino maid led him back to his suppressed art. The Lies That Build A Marriage, Singapore Literature Prize-winning author Suchen Christine Lim's short stories of the unsung, unsaid and uncelebrated in Singapore, delve beneath the sunlit island's prosperity and coded decorum. Her characters chisel away prejudice and sculpt it into acceptance of the other. This book was shortlisted for the Singapore Literature Prize 2008. One of the stories has been adapted for television and aired on national TV in Singapore. |
