Description
20 stories (all previously unpublished) by Rumaizah Abu Bakar in her first book that display an acute sense of observation, with humour and irony, but without prejudice or pandering. With minimalist sketches, she has the uncanny knack for suggesting danger in even the most mundane. If you have read her initial works in the News From Home anthology, see how she has matured.'The Female Cell' is published by Silverfish Books under the Malaysian Literature in English series. The book features two parts:
1) Part 1 โ Loves, Lies and Lives - short fictions
2) Part 2 โ Travel Tales - to Cairo, Turkey, Makkah, the Philippines, Bangkok, etc.
What others say:
Rumaizah's stories are unpretentious and delightful. These short vignettes of human emotions and interations are perfect for that rainy afternoon, accompanied by tea and biscuits. These stories have light in them.
-- Dina Zaman, author of I am Muslim --
Whether she is describing the kaleidoscopic panorama of Kuala Lumpur, or the prickly solitude of a traveller in Turkey, Rumaizah demonstrates a generous capacity for observation. A quietly assured debut collection.
-- Alfian Sa'at, writer, poet and playright --
