Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of eight loosely connected short stories, Jansen Lim explores the gamut of human condition from love and loss to karma and insecurity: a woman whose deep-seated love for canines threatens to rupture her relationship with her dog-averse, cantankerous beau; a corporate executive in his fifties who loses his job and finds it challenging to secure employment; a sarong party girl who'd rather settle for less than excise her objects of desire; a casual fling between two men which devolves into a game of unexpected consequence. Inspired by real-life events and anecdotes, these stories allow the reader to burrow into their layers, honing each instance of exploit, affection and confrontation to a precise pitch.
