The TableMinis Bakes, Bites & Breakfast Book Club: Lion City

📚 Is this home, truly?

Whether you are passionate about fantasy novels, or just curious about whether you should pick up a book or not (you should), this is where you can chat about your favourite worlds or anything you are curious about. Take that leap of faith–there'll be good company, good conversation, and some very good food cause Baked Beans is back!

This month we're keeping our paws up, very high, super high, higher then before as we read Ng Yi-Sheng's Lion City. Infused with myth, magical realism and contemporary sci-fi, this is an award winning collection of exquisitely strange tales that invites the reader to see Singapore in a new and darkly fabulous light.

Co-Winner of the Singapore Literature Prize 2020 (English, Fiction) and Winner of the 2019 Singapore Book Awards for Best Literary Work, you'll find here a secret terminal in Changi Airport which caters to the gods, a prince who falls in love with a crocodile and a concubine who is lost in time.

The island of Singapore even disappears in one of these stories! With Yi-Sheng's debut novel Utama just around the corner, you might even get an exclusive sneak peak at his upcoming epic where dragons fall and a sea goddess awakens

Special Bonus ✨

The first 10 sign-ups will receive a review copy of Ng Yi-Sheng’s upcoming novel Utama (collectible only at the event), along with a confirmed invitation to Epigram Books’ September edition of The Plot Thickens! Meet the author in person, ask questions, and get your copy personally signed.
