Why do authors write? Especially in this age and environment, when one could hardly profit from it. 32 writers from Singapore and beyond shared with us a piece of themselves and the reasons they write. They are Chia Kwek Fah, Low Pooi Fong, Ng Wai Choy, Gouk Sok Eng, He Hua, Liang Wern Fook, Chua Poh Leng, Charmaine Leung, He Er, Li Qingsong, Lin Youyi, Yap Huan Lin, Kiew Li Lian, Li Meiyin, Neo Hai Bin, Daryl Li, Ah Xiu, Sui Ting, Teo Jia Jia, Lin Yi-jun, Lu Fan, Xiang Yang, Yang Xiaobin, Hung Hung, Mao Jian, Chen Chia-Jiun, Maniniwei, Wei-Yun Lin-Górecka, Lim Suat Hong, Wong Lih Lih, Kwan Wei Shen, Niu Xiaoliu. Despite our constant struggle, the world may very well turn out different from what we want it to be. Fortunately, we could find respite in writing. We could create a utopia with words, where we live poetically in the company of our elongated shadows.
