United Nations Peace Day Reading

Together with writers from all over the world, I did a reading for 15 minutes of an excerpt from a story entitled ‘The Solace of Guilt’ taken from my book of short stories ‘The Woman’s Book of Superlatives’ on 21 Sept, 11.40am Singapore time.

The reading was part of a global project organised by The International Literature Festival Berlin to mark the United Nations Peace Day 2010.

It is the first project of its kind, and its purpose is to enable writers from all over the world to show solidarity with those who are oppressed and caught in conflict. I am absolutely thrilled to have been part of this event which gave writers the opportunity to voice their concerns about social and other human problems.
