“Global City Dilemmas consists of a series of chapters that first contextualize Singaporean literary texts from the first two decades of the new millennium both theoretically and historically, and then proceed to nuanced close readings. … Global City Dilemmas is one of a growing number of recent monographs reading Singapore literature and other, largely Anglophone, cultural texts through the lens of literary theory … . This is an important, timely and unique book.” (Philip Holden, South East Asia Research, January 23, 2025)
