SINGAPORE – Vietnamese-American author Viet Thanh Nguyen, 52, hopes Singapore will be cooler when he arrives for Singapore Writers Festival (SWF) in mid-November.
Over a Zoom call from California, Nguyen says: “I was in Singapore for an entire summer in 2014, so I’m pretty familiar with the weather. I rarely get to visit Asia in the fall. I’m always there during the summer and it’s usually terrible.”
