Book Reading LOVERS AND STRANGERS REVISITED – by Robert Raymer
Robert Raymer, who teaches creative writing at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak, will read one of his stories and talk about how you can turn your ideas into short stories, using examples from Lovers and Strangers Revisited whereby he turned his ideas into a collection of 17 Malaysian short stories that have now been published 63 times in 9 countries, taught at four Malaysian universities, and in SPM literature (”Neighbours”).
In the title story, a selfish writer gets more than he bargained for when former lovers haunt him in more ways than one. In another story, a man’s loneliness turns into obsession when he shares a taxi ride with a Malay woman. A Clark Gable lookalike is a barrister wannabe with a shocking secret and gossipy neighbours reveal more about themselves than the man who commits suicide. Elsewhere, expats cross the border to Had Yai to experience a good bargain in the Thai flesh trade before going home to their wives in America.
In this republished edition of Lovers and Strangers Revisited, Robert’s snapshots of scenes from various walks of life provide an insider-outsider view on love, family and culture, and urges a second look at ourselves in the mirror of self-awareness.
