This past weekend, I moderated an event called A Story Is a Promise: Short Fiction in an Age of Survival, which was streamed live on the Epigram Books Facebook page. It was a panel discussion about the role of short stories during these tumultuous times, as well as a book launch for Best New Singaporean Short Stories: Volume Five, guest edited by Balli Kaur Jaswal. Balli and I were joined by contributors Ng Yi-Sheng, Jayashree Panicker and Anittha Thanabalan, who read extracts from their stories and talked about what short fiction means to them.
