'OTHERS' IS NOT A RACE (3RD PRINTING)
by Melissa De Silva
published by Math Paper Press
*  
What is a Eurasian? Are Eurasians Singaporean? What does it mean to be a Eurasian living in Singapore?

While having existed in Singapore as long as any other community, Eurasians, who comprise less than one percent of the population, still remain a fairly obscure group to many Singaporeans.

'OTHERS' IS NOT A RACE is a tapestry that weaves together the multiple genres of narrative fiction, creative nonfiction, literary food writing and family memoir, to offer insight into the micro-minority Eurasian community through the intensely personal lens of the writer's own experience living and growing up as a Eurasian in Singapore. Throughout are interwoven the themes of memory, loss, language, identity and cultural reclamation.

Similarly, it is a reflective and provocative journey of self-discovery; a journey the reader may also take to explore what it means to exist at the confluence of being Singaporean and being Eurasian, and to interrogate the liminal space between two cultures, Asian and European, occupied by this community

"Hikaru's" unexpectedly violent encounter with the mysterious hamster-toting Tanaka only worsens his already weakened condition. Without knowing Tanaka's intentions, the boys must act quicky to uncover the mountain's secrets. Investigating the Indou family's "sin" will be difficult now that Hikaru's dad has passed, but they may be able to get some answers out of his closest friend - if Yoshiki's father is willing to talk...

While "Hikaru" is not the Hikaru he once knew, Yoshiki must admit that his entity has become a friend in his own right. But his true identity remains a mystery... even to the impostor himself! When their research into town's history brings them to the library, the boys discover an unsettling clue about the mysterious happenings in the region. Though, the question still stands of what "Hikaru" and the Nounuki-sama mentioned in Hikaru's note might be - and whether they aren't in fact one and the same...

About Flung

Here is a deepening inquiry into the self in the realm of love; a meditation on the ecstasy of the queer self that transcends conventional binaries. Between confessions, dreams and alternative lives, an underlying fear for the partner suffering from that inability to surrender motivates these pages. Fear is a burden that unravels and transforms into opportunities for edification, and therefore more and more love. Between the lover and the mystic self, this poem replays, exists, relents.

　　在臺灣讀東北是一種地理的拓撲實驗，或重新理解「文學即歷史」的方法。遠和近、大和小，必然和偶然，並置和岐出，相互交錯，產生前所少見的史觀。「東北」作為一意義不斷敞開生成的所在，臺灣參與其中，引譬連類，新意綻生。
　　讀本、選文所講述、投射、召喚的東北全息圖景，在在昭示我們：關外、邊地並非歷史地理的邊緣，而是知識考古、思想糾纏、文學實驗、想像未來的前沿。
——王德威、宋偉杰（本書主編）
 
　　從中古到當代，時間橫跨近2000年
　　中文世界第一本關於中國東北全方位的歷史人文讀本
　　閱讀東北的最佳入門導引，任何系所師生適讀
 
　　包含重要作家契訶夫、夏目漱石、芥川龍之介、安部公房、哈金、王安憶、傅斯年、遲子建、王鳳儀、梁啟超、魯迅、蕭軍、劉賓雁、蕭紅、端木蕻良、溥儀、梅娘、川島芳子、間宮林藏、愛德加‧斯諾、巴金、齊邦媛、鍾曉陽、郭松棻、白先勇、班宇、鄭執、雙雪濤、鍾理和、寶石Gem（董寶石）、劉慶、嚴歌苓、遲子建、蕭紅、張抗抗、梁曉聲、丁玲、周立波、艾青、草明、聶紺弩、曲波……

　　100多位作家　120餘篇作品，東北故事既傳奇也蒼茫，既豪放也悲涼
 
　　東北是現代中國最複雜、最具爆炸性的區域，也是東亞進入世界的「核心現場」之一。
　　甲午戰爭、九一八事變、滿洲國、人民共和國……中國沒有其他地區在過去一世紀經歷過如此劇烈的震蕩和張力。
　　闖關東、「哈爾濱摩登」、「共和國長子」、北大荒、下崗潮……東北不僅是亞洲的「方法」，更是現代人與歷史和環境搏鬥的舞台。
如何敘說關內與關外，東北與東亞，移民與殖民，遺民與夷民，革命與後革命……種種交錯的線索，都是極有潛力的話題。而東北文學以其多元，以其顛簸，投射斯土斯人的深刻經驗。
 
　　「東北」不僅是國族地理方位、風土人情的聚焦，更是興觀群怨的喻象。從漢魏曹操的詠歎到唐代王昌齡的感懷，從清代謫人吳兆騫、楊賓的悲吟到近現代有志之士梁啟超、魯迅的吶喊，東北不斷註記帝國疆界的消長，以及隨之而起的情感坐標。東北也是世界中的東北。
　　從文學研究的角度探討東北，方法之一，是重新講述東北故事。所謂故事，當然不只是虛構的起承轉合，而更關乎一個社會如何經由各種對話、傳播形式，凝聚想像共同體。
　　讀本則嘗試搭設一個全息東北的文藝裝置：在選文褶皺處顯影知識路徑，在信息隱秘點考掘問題方法，在敘事裂隙間叩問生存困境，在現象魅影中召喚生命魂靈。
 
　　《東北讀本》是中文世界以及全球第一本關於中國東北全方位的歷史人文讀本。從曹操到魯迅，從蕭紅到遲子建，從契訶夫到夏目潄石，從「東北作家群」到「東北文藝復興」⋯⋯東北故事既傳奇也蒼茫，既豪放也悲涼。

With much of old Singapore still covered in jungle, encounters with animals were not uncommon for those who lived here. Tiger Tales brings to life some of these little-known episodes, from a crazy rain of fish and the discovery of a giant croc in the Rochor River, to a conundrum with tapirs and the delights of a zoo in our very own Botanic Gardens.

Of course, no compendium of Singapore’s animal stories can go without the legend of Sang Nila Utama—did he really see a lion, we wonder? —and the dramatic story of the tiger under the billiard room. Along the way, readers also meet a cast of colourful yet real people from the past—including Colonel William Farquhar, the First Resident of Singapore, the famous Ming Dynasty admiral Zheng He, and Charles Phillips, the former principal of the Raffles Institution who marches into these pages in his pyjamas.

　　书中不仅是一场文学漫步，更是一份留给城市与读者的“记忆档案”。主编汪来昇于〈心之所向〉中回顾了编书缘起与传播历程——若繁体版是让狮城走向世界，简体版则是温柔地回归故土。

《我獅城，我街道２》
　　延续第一册的精神与热度，本书收录三十位作者的二十九篇散文，书写更宽广的时间与地理幅度，继续关注新加坡的地方故事与生活痕迹。
　　从中峇鲁一颗“铁球”的跨世记忆，到安德逊路、苏菲雅路与盛港的人文变迁；从新加坡河与安祥山的静谧步行，到加冷河畔的劳动与歌声；从“阿裕尼十楼”的半世纪风华，到勿洛北与高文的烟火气、武吉巴督的魔幻写实、裕廊西与实龙岗北的陶窑兴衰——每一篇都以文字留住生活的温度。

　　愿我们深深爱着的这片土地与日常，历久弥新，继续闪耀人文的光彩。

IT'S EAT OR BE EATEN... LITERALLY!

When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions... and a member! They're eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they're sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: "Let's eat the monster!" Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons... none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!

DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON (Dungeon Meshi) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ryoko Kui.

"Hikaru's" sudden disappearance from the mountain has not gone unnoticed... and his presence in town has begun to raise suspicious as well. Spirits from the other side grow restless, while the people sensitive to them begin taking steps to uncover the truth. As Yoshiki continues to struggle with the true identity of "Hikaru", he is reminded once again that his friend no longer shares his understanding of life and death - and that if you play with fire, someone is sure to get burned eventually...

Yoshiki tried to pretend nothing was wrong, but the truth cannot be ignored. Hikaru's gone. "Hikaru" is here. This new version is dangerous... or perhaps not? One thing's for sure - Yoshiki doesn't seem to be in harm's way. In fact, "Hikaru" seems to want nothing more than to befriend and protect him. Despite Rie's warnings, Yoshiki chooses to extend the hand of friendship, hoping it will help "Hikaru" become more human. But in doing so, what might Yoshiki become...?

It has Hikaru's face. It has Hikaru's voice. It even has Hikaru's memories. But whatever came down from the mountains six months ago isn't Yoshiki's best friend. Whatever it is, it's dangerous. Carrying on at school and hanging out as if nothing has changed - as if Hikaru isn't gone - would be crazy... but when it looks so very like Hikaru... and acts so very like Hikaru...

About the Book

Noah’s life takes a wild turn when Adam—his supposed boyfriend from the future—shows up out of nowhere. The grumpy and reckless Adam does not know that they are a thing and hates him for his guts, giving Noah an uphill task of winning him over.

Worse, Adam can’t control his unstable time-travel powers, putting himself in danger at every turn. But Noah has seen the Adam beneath the chaos in the future versions of him—the one who will someday love him—and he’s determined to protect him until that future finally comes true.

About the Book

Eros doesn’t believe in love—despite being named after the god of it. All he wants is the lead role in The Enchanted Stream. But when Zach, a maddening stranger, wrecks his audition, Eros swears he’ll never forgive him. Then fate hands him a second chance… and Zach as his rehearsal partner.

Now, every line they rehearse blurs into something dangerous—something that feels nothing like hate. Is it just stage chemistry, or has Eros finally met his match in more ways than one?
