Sorry for not updating my blog for quite some time. The main reason is yet again the increasing work load that i’m facing especially when my research project has now entered its 8th month. Despite that, i’ve managed to get hold of some interesting books and filled up my limited free time with some leisure reading. One of those books is Lovers and Strangers Revisited by none other than Robert Raymer, who is now living in Sarawak and teaches creative writings at Centre for Language Studies, Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. It’s basically a complilation of his 17 best short stories, that has been published both locally and internationally. Having lived in Malaysia for more than 20 years (largely in Penang, where he previously taught at Universiti Sains Malaysia), i have to admit that Robert’s potrayal of Malaysian live (both traditional and modern) is amazingy vivid. My personal favourites are of course "On Fridays" and "Neigbours". Robert’s style of writing is plain simple but packed with essential essence of Malaysian aroma. The latest version of the book as shown above is published by MPH and can be purchased from the bookstore chain nationwide or via MPHOnline
If you want a personal autograph of Robert Raymer, well, visit UNIMAS! 🙂 By the way, check out Robert Raymer’s website at www.borneoexpatwriter.com

Hi, Keeman, thanks for the review! I've just started a series of blogs on the Story Behind the Story: Lovers and Strangers Revisited. So far I've done "On Fridays", "The Future Barrister" aned "Neighbours". For those who love to read and especially for writers, you will gain a lot of insight by the decisions writers make, even after publication in my case, to make their stories better and better, so eventually they get published overseas, (or back in the US in my case). Just compare the changes noted in the blog with the final version of the stories. Enjoy. http://borneoexpatwriter.blogspot.com/
