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