Lions in Winter by Wena PoonFantastic. Ranks right up there with first collections from Jhumpa Lahiri, Nam Le, Junot Diaz, and Daniel Alarcon. Poon amazingly describes the Singapore experience through the eyes of expats and emigrants, dislocated souls bumping up against new cultures or traditions. The Singaporean references are slight, but speak volumes, and Poon's way with words is incandescent.
