SINGAPOREAN-based writer Elaine Chiew’s 2019 collection, The Heartsick Diaspora, is a series of short stories chronicling the modern postcolonial condition of displacement. Chiew adeptly weaves between writing a variety of Southeast Asian characters at different ages and from different walks of life, switching from single mothers to teenage boys to widowed older women—privileged or not, set in locations as diverse as England, the United States, and Singapore. Coming from a multicultural background herself and thus having personal experience living in many places, Chiew guides the reader through different timelines and countries. She writes with an eye that is sharp for observations unique to environmental locale and sensitive to the small idiosyncrasies that differentiate individuals from one another. |
