"Gaps Between the Bars
Novel seeks to define a Singaporean identity in a cosmopolitan context"
Novel: Behind a Cultural Cage
"Behind a Cultural Cage" is a literary, multicultural novel that has been creating a storm within the writers and readers community in Singapore due to its intriguing subject matter.
Sailing across the shores of Singapore, India, Malaysia, USA and China, the novel describes the life story (or struggle!) of a Bengali Chindian - Chinese Indian man - who carries an "Indian mind" in his "Chinese body", wondering how much Chinese-ness and Indian-ness he possesses.
Sometimes, you read a novel and it suddenly awakens a curious HUMAN sitting inside your heart. You have to pause after every few para to allow a literary drip to reach at the reservoir of your feelings. And someone from your inside shouts, "Wow, what a beautiful, poetic language!
This is how readers have described the novel - Behind a Cultural Cage!
During recent years, much has been said about migration, globalization and multiculturalism in the media, but nothing comes closer to what the story unearths. Do the foreigners encounter identity crisis in the human landscape of the country they migrate? Do their hearts hold tearful conversations with their land of ancestors?
The novel explores these answers, revealing the realities of life in an astonishing way, often emitting the mist of humour.
Cheers!
