Back Cover text
In this rich embroidery of stories set against the landscape of the Malaysian capital, the city of Kuala Lumpur is as much a character as any of the denizens. drifters and dreamers portrayed in the stories. These are potraits of the capital seen through the prism of stories written by an array of new literary voices.
Each writer's experience of or passage through the city is variegated, at some point in their lives, they have grown up in, stopped over in, moved into, or, lost and found themselves in the labyrinthine chaos of the city.
Here, eighteen writers present a sweeping literary portrait of the city as seen through their eyes, and in ways unexpected and mesmerising take on the challenge of capturing the exuberant madness and cultural diversity of the city and its enduring spirit.
