Auf der Shortlist für den Internationalen Literturpreis 2017 Platz 1 der Litprom-Bestenliste WELTEMPFÄNGER Nominiert für den LiBeraturpreis 2017 Zeitgemäß, sexy, einfallsreich, atemberaubend: das hochgelobte und preisgekrönte Debüt von Amanda Lee Koe. So kosmopolitisch wie die junge Autorin ist auch ihre Prosa. Die unverwechselbaren Figuren wurzeln deutlich im singapurischen Alltag, ihre Themen und Motive sind jedoch universell. Es geht um Leidenschaften, Abhängigkeiten, Identität und (verlorene) Liebe. Koe erzählt Geschichten um Außenseiter, Querköpfe, Individuen, die sich durch eine in Schieflage geratene Welt bewegen müssen. Ein ungleiches Pärchen fasst den Entschluss, bei ihren Rendezvous alle Parks der Insel abzuklappern; ein Mann trifft in einer Bar einen Transsexuellen, den er als Junge gedemütigt hatte, und lässt sich von ihm abschleppen; eine Kellnerin bedient einen alternden Serienstar, in den sie als kleines Mädchen verliebt war, am nächsten Morgen wird er tot in seinem Bett aufgefunden. Amanda Lee Koe ist eine Autorin, die etwas wagt. Die Geschichten sind welthaltig und poetisch, philosophisch und durchdacht und entwickeln eine Leichtigkeit und einen Sog, der das Buch, wie ein Kritiker sagte, 'unweglegbar' macht. Es sind Geschichten wie ein Schlag. Nicht wie ein brutaler Schlag ins Gesicht, sondern wie ein Herztreffer, ein Blattschuss, ein wilder Hieb, der den Zentralmuskel des Gefühls für einen kurzen Moment aus dem Takt bringt und wilde, aufregende Wahrheiten offenbart. - Für Leser von Miranda July und Haruki Murakami - Gewinnerin des Singapore Literature Prize for English Fiction 2014 - Gewählt zu einem der 10 besten englischen Bücher Singapurs der letzten 50 Jahre - Eine elektrisierende neue Stimme der Weltliteratur - Lesereise durch Deutschland zur Frankfurter Buchmesse 2016 - Übersetzt von Zoë Beck Die Pressestimmen (Auswahl): 'Der Shootingstar der Literaturszene.' BR2 'Zärtlich und cool zugleich ... eine literarische Rebellion.' Cornelia Zetzsche, NDR2 Kultur 'Rotzfrech, fantastisch und poetisch... Eine Leseerfahrung, die lange nachhallt: Intellektuell, sinnlich, ästhetisch.' Pascal Fischer, SWR 2 'Buch der Woche'. 'Amanda Lee findet Worte und Bilder, um von den Menschen so zu erzählen, dass man auf jeden Fall getroffen wird ¿ und zwar mitten ins Herz. Kitschverdacht allerdings ausgeschlossen, dafür jede Menge weltoffene geschichtsbewusste Lebensklugheit, modernster Feminismus inbegriffen. Cool!' Anita Djafari 'Geschichten, zart und direkt, melancholisch, voll emotionaler Tiefe und schräger Typen.' radioTexte, BR2 'Fantastisches Debüt der Erzählerin aus Singapur. In ihren Storys über Abhängigkeit, Liebe, Sehnsucht und Freiheit stecken gleich mehrere Romane.' Ulrich Gutmair, taz 'Amanda Lee Koe hat mit ihrem ersten Buch in deutscher Übersetzung für Furore gesorgt. Ministerium für öffentliche Erregung versammelt Erzählungen, die an die Nieren gehen - teils drastisch und immer erstaunlich.' Buchkultur 'Diese Kurzgeschichten haben mich schwer beeindruckt, denn sie haben Kraft, sie sind sehr hart, reden nicht um den heißen Brei herum, zeichnen nichts weich. Sie legen den Finger direkt in die Wunde.' Jörg Petzold, Flux FM 'Ohne Kitsch oder Pathos gelingt es Amanda Lee Koe, mit jeder Geschichte eine neue Welt zu erschaffen, die so scharf und detailliert gezeichnet ist, dass ihre Figuren eine Glaubhaftigkeit besitzen, als sähen wir sie direkt vor uns.' Aviva-Berlin.de 'Was die Geschichten Koes so spannend und oft unheimlich macht - dass man nie genau weiß, was die Charaktere als nächstes tun werden, und dass man ständig das Gefühl hat, den Atem anhalten zu müssen.' Miriam Mairgünther 'Obwohl kaum eine der Kurzgeschichten mehr als 20 Seiten in Anspruch nimmt, gelingt es Amanda Lee Koe in wenigen Worten Charaktere entstehen zu lassen, an deren Rück- und Schicksalsschlägen man Anteil nimmt.' SPEX 'Ein Buch, in dem man sich verliert und gebannt jeder Geschichte folgt ... auch wenn die Erzählung verklungen ist, wird diese im Leser nachklingen.' Hauke Harder, Leseschatz 'Unglaublich lesenswert, dieses Buch.' Tania Folaji, Elektro vs. Print 'Die kaleidoskophafte Bandbreite der Themen und die Lebendigkeit der Figuren offenbaren ein tiefes emotionales und psychologisches Verständnis. Die Autorin präsentiert sich als herausragend kompetente, lyrische Erzählerin.' Quarterly Literary Review Singapore 'Diese umwerfende Kurzgeschichtensammlung ist formal ebenso bahnbrechend, wie zutiefst menschlich, mitfühlend und erkenntnisreich.' Huzir Sulaiman, Theaterautor

LIFE-CHANGING. The only chair you'll ever want or need.
Color: Black
So... This chair has absolutely changed my life. I don't often leave reviews, but this is WORTH IT. I want one in every room in my home. Just as the other reviewer with the 'life-changing chair' title to their review: I've had 100% the same experience - especially as someone who sits 3,000 different ways w/ ADHD lol. So, in addition to agreeing with all those comments... I'll just add a few more thoughts here to further convince you: - I received the Cream/Teddy one as a Christmas gift and have literally have looked forward to sitting it in for work every. single. morning. for work. - I *ALSO* purchased a second one in the black velvet one to gift to my partner and his experience has also been 'life-changing.' (The black velvet is definitely sleeker looking, almost a teeny slippery, but just beautiful fabric. Love it. A note here: the fabric came with a crease, which steamed out no problem.) - I sit and edit websites and photo/video everyday, all day, for work, and I also spend a good chunk of my time gaming with my partner. (Now we are *both* very comfortable for those longer 5+ hour sessions.) - Previously I had tried the viral criss-cross chair and while it was cute and great at first, it just didn't hold up and started causing numb spots on my lower back after ~2 hours. Not an all-day chair at all. This one has solved all back issues for me! Size: definitely big & the back is quite a tall height but it makes you feel cozy, supported, *and* you can lean back, recline, adjust every little bit you like, have space for a velcro cat, sit criss-cross or 3,000 other ways as a ADHDr trying to sit all day, lol, etc. -- all things I was looking for in an upgrade. For reference, it fits someone 5'5" to 6"5" just as comfortably. I'd say it feels on the bigger side for someone under 6 foot, but personally, I love that. It's like a real adult chair - much needed if you sit for 6+ hours a day. Leg rest: Easy to flip out, I love using this so you can sit cross cross AND lean back, or just as extra 'accommodate the cat' space. Noise level: the arms clicking down/adjusting is loud, but I don't find myself adjusting them all that often. Especially when my cat claims this chair first, anticipating the start of our work day. Comfort level: 100% and 2.5-3 months in, it's still going strong and I'm more obsessed each day. *To the store: THANK YOU for making this chair, please never stop. *To the person reading this review: BUY IT. Let this be the review to convince you - your cat will take over the chair and you'll have to fight over it, it's that comfy. I mean, they know best, do they not?

Beautiful sturdy, cozy chair, BUT…..
Color: White, Color: White
Updated review. I was so excited to get this chair that I jumped the gun and wrote the review prior to spending more time seated. I only have one issue, which is the back bottom of the seat cushion. That’s a big deal. It appears so thick, fluffy and inviting, however, when I sat in it for a couple of hours it completely went flat in the back feeling like I was sitting on a board. I’m 5’4” 180 lbs, which means my feet don’t touch the floor so adding a cushion will elevate me a little more. I’m OK with that but it’s going to ruin aesthetic of the chair which is which is not ok. I do love the idea of this chair. It’s design and the color. I wish the seat cushion had a zipper, which would eliminate my issue. I’d say if you’re someone who has to spend a lot of hours in this chair, you probably won’t like it. I do like the reclining back and the foot rest. It is comfortable to lay back but that doesn’t change the issue in the back bottom of the seat cushion. I absolutely love this chair, I didn’t want to get up. It’s beautiful and cozy. Assembly was easy as I’ve assembled chairs before. I changed the wheels to a double roller blade easy on hard wood floors. I also scotch guarded the entire chair. This chair is sturdy and well made.

just get it and stop second guessing
Color: White, Color: White
I reallllly love this chair. I almost talked myself out of it because of some of the bad reviews here and there but i’m glad i listened to a majority of the good reviews, because this chair is perfect. shipping: it was super fast. it came 5 days earlier than expected. I got it on a Monday when it said it’d be here on Friday packaging: double boxed and bubble wrapped. Didn’t find any dings or scratches on anything. all parts were there including instructions assembly: my boyfriend put it together in 40 minutes. We didn’t have any issues zipping up the back cover like other reviews said and he said it was easy instructions to follow, and easy to put together. size and comfort: it’s bigger than the pictures let on! I’m 5’3 135lbs and feel like I’m sitting on a giant cloud. The comfort is 10/10. I just had a chair with basicslly zero butt cushion which i cannot have while working from home 8+ hrs a day in a chair. Comfort was the most important for me and I finally can’t feel the flat seat under me. I can’t express how comfy it is. Functions: can move the arm rests up and down. adjust the back to tilt all the way back to a sleeping position or fully upright which i didn’t even realize was a function! The only thing with the armrests; if you’re wanting your pet on it (like advertised) when the arm rests is put down there is a big gap that isn’t comfortable for animals (as pictured) so I have to put a blanket or pillow there for my small dog to lay comfortably. I’m obsessed with the fact I can sit cross legged, normally, laying down, sprawled up, or legs up. I have room to sit however I want, and the foot rests helps a ton with feeling even more comfortable. Overall, I’d get this chair 10x over. Not only do I work from home and spend hours in a chair, but I spend additional time playing video games so a good quality chair is very important to me. This has began to help fix my posture and back and neck issues. Get it!!!

If You Sit Weird Like Me… Just Buy This Chair
Color: Galaxy Black
I work from home and spend a lot of time sitting for hobbies like Legos, PC games, and crafts—so a comfortable chair is a must. I LOVE this chair so far. I’ve always struggled to get comfortable in traditional office chairs, and the ability to move around is really important to me. With this one, I can easily cross my legs, use the footrest to stretch out with my knees bent, or just sit normally. I’m 5’4”, so my feet don’t quite touch the ground, but that doesn’t bother me since I’m constantly switching positions anyway. I’ll probably add a small pillow for extra back support and maybe fold a blanket for a bit more seat cushioning. It’s comfortable overall, but after long periods of sitting, you might start to feel it. The black sparkle version is MUCH cuter in person, and I’m so glad I went with it. A lot of reviews say, “don’t think about it, just get it”—and honestly, they’re right. I debated for a couple weeks before buying, and I have zero regrets. Assembly was easier than I expected. I tend to get frustrated putting things together, but this was pretty painless. One tip: check inside the cushioned back piece for the extra headrest part—you’ll need it to attach to the hard back before inserting it into the cushion. Once I figured that out, the rest was simple. The chair is a bit larger than a standard office chair and can feel a little bulky depending on your desk setup, but I actually like the extra space since I move around a lot while sitting. It feels sturdy and well-made. It’s also slightly warmer than a mesh chair, which I personally love because I’m always cold. I am just happy to find a chair that feels comfortable like a recliner and movable like an office chair.

Great chair
Color: Pink
I love this chair! I use it for streaming and working on making jewelry! It’s very comfortable and I love that I can sit different ways in it! I can stream longer than I could in other computer chairs I’ve had! I definitely recommend this if you have to sit for a long time but like to sit in different positions! The instructions were a bit confusing but I did figure it out! I have had to spot clean it a few times because of kids and pets but the material has held up! The back is very comfortable and supportive! I like that I can adjust it! Great chair for the price! It’s held up well and I like that you can adjust the back!
