By an author described by critics as 'the most accomplished
Malaysian writer, full stop'. Lake Like a Mirror is a scintillating
exploration of the lives of women buffeted by powers beyond their
control. Squeezing themselves between the gaps of rabid
urbanisation, patriarchal structures and a theocratic government,
these women find their lives twisted in disturbing ways. In precise
and disquieting prose, Ho Sok Fong draws her readers into a richly
atmospheric world of naked sleepwalkers in a rehabilitation centre
for wayward Muslims, mysterious wooden boxes, gossip in unlicensed
hairdressers, hotels with amnesiac guests, and poetry classes with
accidentally charged politics - a world that is peopled with the
ghosts of unsaid words, unmanaged desires and uncertain statuses,
surreal and utterly true.
