@PSamarasan Just pre-ordered!

[Svend Christiansen @SvendHK]

@PSamarasan Absolutely. The Nov book, is fiction? Any broad hints about the story? Regardless, sign me up for the first copy!

@alicepoon1 Oh boy, you need to catch up with the times! Lol. NFT is Non-fungible token. A way of anchoring anything digital to the blockchain in a way that ownership can be proven, and bought and sold.

We've shattered the $100 million ceiling in #NFT sales worldwide. Pushing us over this historic mark was the record-setting success of our first-ever NFT auction in Asia, which closed online in Hong Kong on 28 September and achieved a total of HK$122 Million (USD $15.6M).

2/10 20% The journal. #FiveStarBillionaire by @Tash_Aw. “Phoebe needed solitude when she wrote in her journal; she had become used to being alone when confronting her fears.” Evocative vignettes of immigrant life in Shanghai. Been there; done that. Exciting, yet lonely.

[Svend Christiansen @SvendHK]

#FiveStarBillionaire by @Tash_Aw is the next #TenTweetThread. “Five Star Billionaire...offers rare insight into Shanghai, a city of elusive identities and ever-changing skylines, of grand ambitions and outsize dreams.” I have lived in KL and Shanghai and love Tash Aw so let’s go!

[Svend Christiansen @SvendHK]

1/10 10% Verisimilitude. #FiveStarBillionaire by @Tash_Aw. “His eyes were sunken and dark, his eyes glassy and staring, like a fish at the market, his lips chapped and sore: a verisimilitude of a life.” The appearance of being true...I lived in Shanghai 2008-9...all rushing back.

[Svend Christiansen @SvendHK]

10/10 100% Goodbye, I say. #WetheSurvivors by @Tash_Aw. “We stand facing each other. It’s almost completely dark now. I think that maybe I should extend my hand, but that feels wrong, and she doesn’t move either.” I love this story, provocative and unsettling, yet full of truth.

[Svend Christiansen @SvendHK]

#WetheSurvivors by @Tash_Aw is next up for the #TenTweetThread book review. “An uncompromising portrait of an outsider navigating a society in transition, Tash Aw’s anti-nostalgic tale, We, the Survivors, holds its tension to the very end.” Am super excited about this author!

[Svend Christiansen @SvendHK]

9/10 90% Myanmar to Malaysia. #WetheSurvivors by @Tash_Aw. “Drifting on the sea, you feel you’ve died too. The friends you lose take something away from you as their bodies are thrown overboard, and that something – what is it? No one knows – that something never comes back.”

[Svend Christiansen @SvendHK]

@PSamarasan @RohanBeg @PSamarasan This one sentence makes me long for your next novel.

Tasty memories from my visits to Chennai.
