Böcker av Frank Passani

Will apes ever be able to clone Shakespeare's works? What if you came back to Earth from an interstellar trip just to find yourself homeless? Frank Passani's new fiction book addresses not only orthodox sci-fi subjects but also the dystopian reality humankind is being plunged into. The reader will glimpse the near future with stories that dwell at length on the wounds inflicted on society to increase population control through paranoia, fear and technology.

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. Even though this gem of expat literature deals with themes like sex and suicide, readers consider it to be "hilarious". Critics said: "A sensitive flâneur's existence in Singapore is captured with Kunderaesque asides" (Cyril Wong, poet) and "Passani's incisive prose masterfully examines post-modern paralysis" (M. M. Ávila García, Lecturer).
