A son. A father. A hanging. A useless identity card delivered with official tact. Why then does it burn the recipient? Martha Cooley, author of the novel The Archivist and the memoir Guesswork, reads the searing story “The Hole” by Alfian Sa’at and responds to its pathos.

Gaudy Boy
From Latin gaudium meaning joy, Gaudy Boy publishes books and media that delight readers, listeners, and viewers with the various powers of art. The name is taken from the poem “Gaudy Turnout” by Singaporean author Arthur Yap, about his time abroad in 1970's Leeds, UK. Similarly inspired, Gaudy Boy brings literary works by authors of Asian heritage to the attention of an American audience. We publish poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction of exceptional merit.Season 1: Malay Sketches is a collection of stories that borrows its name from a book of anecdotes by colonial governor Frank Swettenhem describing Malay life on the peninsula. In Alfian Sa’at’s hands, these sketches are re-imagined as flash fictions that record the lives of members of the Malay community in Singapore. With precise and incisive prose, Malay Sketches offers the reader profound insights into the realities of life as an ethnic minority.Purchase 'Malay Sketches': https://www.amazon.com/Malay-Sketches-Stories-Alfian-Saat/dp/0982814232/Join Podchaser to...
