About

"Names Have Been Changed is a brave debut. It tells a migrant story, specifically a unique aspect of the migrant experience, namely a constant escape from the past in order to seek an existence on one's own terms. The novel is ingeniously conceived and written in an intelligent, fierce style. It's a fine contribution to migrant literature of our time."

-Ha Jin, bestselling author of the National Book Award winner Waiting

"Names Have Been Changed is a spiky, smart story about an itinerant Singaporean ex-con who yearns above all, to return. It's a book about displacement, friendship, diaspora, love, and criminal enterprise, but above all, the gasping need for connection, when home is out of reach."

-Vanessa Chan, international bestselling author of The Storm We Made
