A child’s afternoon of play, a teenager’s notion of pain, one’s understanding of freedom, another’s glimpse of mortality, a young woman’s encounter with her cultural roots, and the individual worlds of the young and old. They reveal the distances between people and within people. Sometimes all that people do, or try to do, is cross distance. Crossing Distance won a Merit Award in the Singapore Literature Prize (SLP) in 1994 and a Commendation Award in the National Book Development Council of Singapore Book Awards in 1996. It was first published in 1995.
