Reading - Writers @ NIE 20/3/2019
‘I loved your reading so much. It was wonderful that you read so much of your book and with such Dickensian energy, verve and flair further enhancing your wonderful exquisite stories – especially those poignant-delicate endings. You really have a gift in ear and in performance – I particularly remember the brusque male authority figures and the sweet tamil ladies. I loved the references to oliver twist and ancient mariner and how they were lovingly ironically woven into the malay(si)an context of fifty years ago – the gruff teacher and the poor bamboozled boy at school hopelessly deferential. I have never encountered these figures but through your performance they really lived as if I were meeting them – that seems a good Dickensian trait as is your doing in text and performance “different voices” to quote ‘our mutual friend’.’
Angus Whitehead, Lecturer, English Language & Literature (ELL), NIE, Singapore
