Or Else, The Lightning God & Other Stories - Catherine Lim

[Luke]

Or Else, The Lightning God & Other Stories, Catherine Lim, 1980, Singapore, SHORT STORIES

"Singapore is a mixture of nationalities, religions, and classes, and Catherine Lim seems to represent them all...One man reacts to a conversation with someone he just met: "What had lain dead in him all these years stirred uneasily to life: his heart filled, his mind crowded with dim visitations and images. He was awash in a tide of feeling too great to resist, so he wept."..."

(H.S., p. 301)
