Maybe A Swan Song is a captivating collection divided into two distinct yet complementary parts. The first, Singapore Stories, features six engaging short stories. Four of them relate to episodes from the author's rich experience and compelling insights into the legal world, making them particularly interesting to law students and legal practitioners. Another story follows the author's odyssey as a gourmand, and the final tale involves an animation of some of his porcelain figurines.
The second part of the book, Essays by a Non-Specialist, showcases essays on subjects that fall within the author's hobbies. From exploration of a saying by James Joyce to a reassessment of Franz Kafka - one of the enigmatic writers of the 20th century. Another intriguing piece delves into biblical critique, analyzing the Old Testament's Book of Job in the context of its composition date and the potential influence of Greek culture and debating techniques of the writer.
