6. Impractical Uses of Cake (by Yeoh Jo-Ann)
Winner of the 2018 Epigram Books Fiction Prize, Impractical Uses of Cake is also a debut novel from Yeoh Jo-Ann, a former editor at SPH Magazines. Sukhin, a teacher in his thirties, has always lived according to a simple and neat routine that keeps him mostly to himself. But all that’s about to change when he meets a woman he used to know, now homeless, and decides to help her. Through the joys of love and cake, the book inspires us to ponder human connection and isolation in the city.
Release date: May 2019
