After 15 years of humiliation, Timothy is coming out of the closet to murder his insensitive and domineering wife, Marcia. The Man in the Cupboard is a sad and darkly funny tale of isolation – in both life and dreams. Winner of the 1998 Singapore Literature Prize Merit Award. This title is being reissued under the new Marshall Cavendish Classics: Literary Fiction series, which seeks to introduce some of the best works of Singapore literature to a new generation of readers. Some have been evergreen titles over the years, others have been unjustly neglected.
