Beschreibungen
<p>Meet the four misfits living in one HDB flat.<br/><br/>One is a Malay–Jew who is trying to get his father to come back as a ghost. Cantona is a promising Bangladeshi artist on the run from a construction company. Tights is a Chinese illegal immigrant with a Forrest Gump obsession. And Shanti is a gifted Indian lab technician hiding from her abusive husband.<br/><br/>When a forlorn pontianak begins haunting them, the four friends find themselves embroiled in a surreal showdown that may just upend the world, or at least Singapore.<br/><br/>Written in Suffian Hakim's trademark humour, The Minorities is a novel about those living on the edges of society and their soulful bond.</p>
Suffian Hakim is a writer of fantastical, whimsical, wacky books. His first was a parody, <em>Harris bin Potter and the Stoned Philosopher</em>, whose initial chapter was published online in 2013 before going viral. <em>The Straits Times</em> calls Suffian “undoubtedly one of the most whimsical, creative and unpretentious young voices in Singapore literature”. He was previously a regional content lead at media agency GroupM and had written for television shows such as <em>Random Island</em> and <em>The Noose</em>, and publications <em>Esquire</em> and <em>August Man</em>.
