Double fantasy

Body 2 Body: A Malaysian Queer Anthology edited by Jerome Kugan and Pang Khee Teik (RM 34.00)

Body 2 Body: A Malaysian Queer Anthology is the first of its kind: a compilation of original creative writing on the gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transsexuals and transvestites of the country.

Long denied a voice in the mainstream, the queers of Malaysia are boldly and fabulously represented in 23 stories, fiction and non-fiction. From coming out to coming home, breaking up to breaking down, changing sex to changing heart, the stories are different from anything you may have read in – or about – Malaysia.


Matanya Teleskop, Hatinya Kapal Dalam Botol Kaca by Sufian Abas (RM 15.00)

Manusia dalam himpunan cerita ini dingin-dingin belakakerna hati mereka sudah hangus dek api berani yang meluluh segala isi dalaman diri hingga yang tinggal hanya lohong kosong seluas bima sakti.

Dunia kini gurun, pari-pari rupa-rupanya kertas, si buta memimpin si tempang, inilah apokaliptika perasaan yang paling lazat.


Other Malaysian titles:


Kayangan by Ruhayat X (RM 10.00)

Lost in KL by Bernice Chauly (RM 10.00)
