Marshall Cavendish Classics: The Mouse Marathon
- Description
- About the Author
-
Lee Jaylin, a 31-year-old workaholic Advertising Executive, wonders just what the point of it all is when her long-time friend and lover departs to travel the world, leaving her with the less than exhilarating task of promoting ādesigner condomsā. With penetration, humour 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 Singaporeās 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 newĀ Marshall Cavendish Classics: Literary FictionĀ 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.
-
One of Singaporeās most prolific writers, Ovidia Yu has published numerous works of fiction and has had more than 30 of her plays produced on stage. She has won many awards for her literary work, including the Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry Singapore Foundation Culture Award (1996), the National Arts Council (NAC) Young Artist Award (1996) and the Singapore Youth Award (1997).
