On this podcast, Simon Lim puts the spotlight on writer Patrick Sagaram, who lives in Singapore and works as a teacher.
Patrick Sagaram talks about his book titled, "In Places We Find Ourselves" - a collection of stories.
The characters in this book are people we all know. People like ourselves, searching and yearning, often in the wrong places for something meaningful and real. A real-estate agent tries to sell a home to a feuding couple while his own marriage is being tested; a divorcee resigned to drink and television for company finds pleasures of life with another woman; and the price a mother pays when love and its irrationality blinds her to her parental duties. In these stories what is excavated and revealed lies at the heart of Singaporean lives.
Get to know Patrick Sagaram and hear what he has to share about his book titled, "In Places We Find Ourselves".
Download this interview and enjoy listening to Patrick and Simon. This interview was first heard on the radio show, "NIGHTS WITH SIMON" on ONE FM 91.3, a station of SPH Media.
