What Gives Us Our Names (Rosetta Edition)

The beloved Sing Lit classic What Gives Us Our Names returns in a revised Rosetta Edition, now accompanied by the author’s photographs taken from Zhou Zhuang to the suburbs of Calcutta, offering a fresh glimpse into his travels and experiences alongside the timeless text. Inspired by a book whose lurid cover you’ve already forgotten, he made his life—not his skin—his canvas, watching quietly, looking deeply, and gathering the unchanging colours of others to weave into his heart. He once touched you too, borrowing a piece of your story; it remains here, should you wish to look.
