Description
‘SINGAPORE is a compelling and disturbing story about privilege, intrusive thoughts, and greyhounds.’
Emily Austin, author of Oh Honey and Everyone In This Room Will Someday Be Dead
Bored and lonely, with hounds for company, she starts thinking about how it would feel to kill…
When she finds herself a ‘trailing spouse’, a woman attempts to make sense of a world that is both familiar and utterly different. Cooking, shopping, yoga, and the beauty salon: a mundane routine that alienates her from who thought she was. Her only comforts are the dogs, but even they have lost their lust for the chase in the ever-oppressive heat. Discomfort turns into exciting fantasies of violence.
Singapore builds towards grotesque scenes, where the boundaries of a woman who always thought she had a conscience are blurred and broken, and the amorality of animals is increasingly her own.
