singapore writers’ festival 2022
In the upcoming singapore writers’ festival 2022, madeleine lee is featured in two events:
the beginning of everything else: a sharing
13 nov sun 4.30pm – 6.00pm
about: a quarter-life crisis. a new phase. on the cusp of a new threshold, these poets gather as celebration, send off, or a commemoration of this moment in time to mark this festival milestone in literary fashion. join them as they ruminate on beginnings, middles and endings.

the text has nine lives
19 nov sat, 12.30pm – 1.30pm
about: how many ways can you revive a literary work through adaptation, and what’s the secret to finding new narrative forms? it takes a particular je ne sais quoi for a text to live multiple lives, and even more to successfully refresh instead of rehash. we speak to these authors about the act of rendition in preparation for the next time you discover that ai-rendered, augmented reality adaptation of pride and prejudice in the metaverse.
this programme is held in conjunction with esplanade’s presentation of national theatre live.
