1. Dinner On Monster Island
In "Dinner on Monster Island," Tania De Rozario shares a collection of personal essays that delve into her experiences growing up as a queer, brown, and fat girl in Singapore. Through a blend of memoir, history, pop culture, and horror film analysis, she explores the concept of monsters and the challenges of being different. At twelve, Tania faced a "gay-exorcism" by her mother and church friends, an event that opened her eyes to the real-life monsters that can exist within one's own community. The book reflects on how society often views difference as deviant or dangerous, while also examining the portrayal of women as monsters in horror films. With a mix of humor and sincerity, Tania offers a poignant look at identity and the nature of monstrosity.
