Melpomene, a professor working in a fictional Singaporean university, devotes herself to writing an erotic novel devoid of literary qualities, as she is convinced of the emptiness of the modern world. Although this gem of expat literature deals with suicide, readers consider it to be “as deep as it is hilarious.” Critics said: “A sensitive flâneur’s existence in Singapore is captured with Kunderaesque asides” (Cyril Wong, Singaporean poet and novelist) and “Passani’s incisive prose masterfully examines post-modern paralysis” (M. M. Ávila García, Lecturer in Spanish Language).

Frank Passani
Frank Passani (Barcelona, 1975) obtained his PhD with a dissertation about the Platonic and Aristotelian influences on C. S. Lewis. He became a Modern Greek translator while working in Greece as a Spanish language teacher. Currently he has been teaching Spanish in Singapore for many years. After facing editorial censorship upon submitting this novel for consideration, he decided to go solo in the self-publishing industry. He doesn't regret it.
