The Modern Man's Book Club - The Colour of Twilight

The Colour of Twilight is the final novel of acclaimed Singaporean Sinophone writer Yeng Pway Ngon, recently translated by Jeremy Tiang. A portrait of an aging and widowed Sinophone writer goes through his daily routine as he reflects on his life, wondering if he wasted it writing Sinophone literature, in a now predominantly Anglophone city.

The book can be found in NLB as well as most local bookstores (however, it is unfortunately not eligible for the SG Culture Pass yet).

Hosted by Isaac and Zubin, the Modern Man's Book Club is a book club that aims to explore male experiences and issues through the lens of literature. Through book discussions, we hope to build some understanding of what it means to be a man in this modern age.

We return to the Casual Poet Library, a community-run library in Bukit Merah. Please note food is not allowed in the library, you are encouraged to have your dinner before the session.
