With penetration, humor and roller-coaster momentum, Ovidia Yu subtly weaves an intricate web of hidden relationships with a highly comic series of events, in the process questioning the most cherished assumptions of Singapore's high-pressure, breakneck-paced lifestyle. Is this really the rat race? Or just a long and lonely mouse marathon? This title is being reissued under the new Marshall Cavendish Classics: Literary Fiction series, which seeks to introduce some of the best works of Singapore literature to a new generation of readers. Some have been evergreen titles over the years, others have been unjustly neglected. Authors in the series include: Catherine Lim, Claire Tham, Colin Cheong, Michael Chiang, Minfong Ho, Ovidia Yu and Philip Jeyaretnam. 500 $a First published in 1993 by Times Editions. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women employees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Singaporean fiction (English) 650 7 $a Singaporean fiction (English) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01432192 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 650 7 $a Women employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01177615 651 0 $a Singapore $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Singapore. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205288 $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpV8D6qM4JGxDqvHvtYfq 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 830 0 $a Marshall Cavendish classics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011020.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=505FF756CD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
