Book launch: Utama

Epigram launches Utama, the latest work by award-winning writer Ng Yi-Sheng. Blending history, myth, and imagination, this genre-defying collection re-envisions the story of Sang Nila Utama and Singapore’s beginnings. With playful invention and sharp insight, Ng weaves poetry, prose, and speculative retellings that question origins, identity, and belonging. A bold, inventive book from one of Southeast Asia’s most original voices.

Speakers: Ng Yi-Sheng
