3 January 2018 The Last Immigrant ISBN 978-9-81-478512-9 Lau Siew Mei Fiction $24.90 | Paperback 224pp | 152 x 225mm

A Singaporean immigrant’s life in sunny Brisbane turns into a nightmare when his Siamese cat goes missing. Lau’s first novel, Playing Madame Mao was praised by Time magazine as “one of the best novels ever written about Singapore.”

Ismael, a Singaporean Muslim emigrates to Australia and settles in a bucolic Brisbane cul- de-sac. His job is to decide whether asylum- seekers get to stay in the country, a dilemma that reminds him of his own immigrant status. He works hard but doesn’t get promoted. His neighbours keep to themselves but are outwardly civil. Then his life begins to take on the hue of a nightmare: a neighbour inexplicably commits suicide, his wife dies of cancer, and his daughter abandons him to live in the United States. One day his Siamese cat disappears...and he recieves an anonymous hate mail: “We were here first. We will decide who comes into this suburb...and who remains!” An engrossing new novel by Singapore-born Australian author Lau Siew Mei that explores neighbourly relations— and the reality of being an immigrant.

Lau Siew Mei is the author of two novels, Playing Madame Mao and The Dispeller of Worries. She has been shortlisted for the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction in the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards and Best Emerging Queensland Author in the QLD Premier’s Literary Awards.

Award-winning filmmaker Ken Kwek turns to the typewriter to pen this side-splitting story of Timothy Pong, a schoolboy whose family of smartphone addicts have no time for him, much less care about how the school bully has just picked him as her favourite target.

Photo © Kelly Fan Timothy Pong has enough trouble at home without throwing his first year of secondary school into the mix. His family only interact with each other through digital machines. But 12-year-old Timothy is too young to own a smartphone, according to his mum, so he hasn’t actually spoken to his family in years as he can’t WhatsApp his parents or Snapchat his older sister.

Worse still, the most menacing bully in school, who also happens to be the prettiest girl Timothy has ever seen, has plucked him out as her new favourite target. Luckily, Timothy has a few ideas up his sleeve to survive first year of high school. Despite the help of his undernourished friend Rudy, their first plan goes horribly wrong and Timothy is caught on camera with his pants down. So the two friends must up their game if they’re to expose the conniving Bella, ace their Science project, and learn how an old-fashioned camera (that they first mistook for a hairdryer) might be the answer to their prayers.

Ken Kwek spent his childhood watching movies on an ancient machine called a VHS player. The tapes that went into the VHS player were about the size of this book. He studied literature at the University of Cambridge and dramatic writing at New York University. He is married to the popular comedienne Pam Oei.
