Join us for a riveting session of stories and the authors who dare venture to write them. Nyonya Dr Lee Su Kim, bestselling author of the Peranakan trilogy of Kebaya Tales, Sarong Secrets and Manek Mischiefs will talk about what inspires her to write. Drawing on her colourful Peranakan cultural heritage, historical events, observations, flamboyant personalities and family stories, she will share how she weaves her stories, and the challenges in writing them.
Baba Peter Soh author of Peranakan short stories explores Peranakan identity issues through his stories. Do you have to wear a sarong kebaya to be a nyonya? Are you still a nyonya if you don't wear a hand-me-down vintage kebaya? In Peter Soh's stories, he touches on this complex and controversial issue in a seemingly highly-guarded community.
