Spirits Abroad

a bookstore owner and i discussed how this was a truly niche collection: too local to be completely understood by westerners, written in a way that's too flowery to appeal to most malaysians.

exactly the kind of stories i crave to write. ‘house of the aunts', which i stumbled upon before the book's release, was what made me realise how much appeal there is in writing and reading about things closer to home.
