A man wandering the National Library encounters a madman who speaks in footnotes and vandalised toilet cubicles scrawled with quotations without citations. In rooms, streets, archives, and forgotten corners of the city, lives unfold at the boundaries of etymology and the imaginary. Blending fiction, essay, and meditation, these works transform the landscapes of Singapore and beyond into territories of history, memory, and private archaeology.
Here, the past does not simply recede. It returns in charged moments when fragments break free from the narratives that once confined them. An old event, an image, or a forgotten life emerges with new intensity, as if it had been waiting to be seen differently. History is no longer what has passed, but what flares up in the present, illuminating not only what once was, but what might have been. It lingers in objects, in gestures, in the silence between words - inviting the reader into a world where the act of looking is always also an act of remembering.
