In this collection of essays called DINNER ON MONSTER ISLAND, the table of contents is a "menu"!
I'm excited to start this, with themes of monsters in horror movies and growing up queer, brown, and fat in Singapore.

Nonfiction is not generally a genre I gravitate towards unless it's about something I'm super interested in. That being said, these three new nonfiction books just came out and I am really excited to start them! 📚❤️
Writer and artist Tania De Rozario provides her perspectives on various topics as a citizen of Singapore and as a queer woman in a series of essays. Using the metaphor of monsters and femininehood, she tackles themes of family, sexuality, religion, and national politics. Such examples are her forced exorcism, Christian hypocrisy, her attraction to women, and contradictions of Singaporean society and government, this is a visceral read!
