SubTEXT reads Tangerine

Reported by Christine Choy, Executive (Programmes & Events Management, Public Library Services Group)



2 June was the usual subTEXT session at the Book Cafe. However, because the usual hangout area was reserved by a private function, the whole group of about 35 people made themselves comfortable on chairs and sofas that were moved out specially for this session.



Colin Cheong read his book, "Tangerine". Other authors reading that night were Marjorie Evasco and Felisa Batacan, as well as younger writers like Nurul Jihadah, Bernard Koh, Judith Huang and Chitralekha Basu (featured in "But", a new anthology of poetry and prose by established authors and previously unpublished talents).



They shared their works, exchanged their views, thoughts and even their songs!



After the 1.5 hour session, some of them bought "Tangerine" and even got Colin to autograph in their books.
