Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 220 pages. Set in the violent streets of 1950s Singapore, a p ortrait of the lives of street kids follows themes of rebellion, teenage sex, prestige, and fighting spiders, and is presented ent irely in street-slang English Editorial Reviews From Publishers Weekly Impressively confident in tone, Cher's arresting first no vel details the lives of street urchins and petty criminals in th e Singapore of the 1950s. The depradations of the WWII Japanese o ccupation are alluded to only in passing, but the lawlessness and rebelliousness that shadow these characters are its direct resul t. Spider boys capture and train small wrestling spiders to compe te in matches for substantial stakes. Teenaged Kwang is the boys' leader, fiercely and exclusively dedicated to his spiders, much to the chagrin of his girlfriend, Kim, with the always ready to l augh eyes. Kwang, who adheres to a strict moral code even when en gaged in criminal or vengeful activities, is the rival of Chai, a less sterling character, and is preyed upon by Smiling Yeow, a m urderous criminal whose plans to use the boys in larger gambling operations signals an end to their comparatively innocent lives. The action builds to thrilling descriptions of the Spider Olympic Games. What follows is an anticlimax capped by a hasty denouemen t. But this is a small flaw in a notable debut in which Cher mine s the abbreviated, hard-edged local street slang to yield prose o f stunning emotional impact. The narrative moves among its charac ters in quick cuts, but the exposures go remarkably deep nonethel ess, revealing this exotic milieu as the universal world of any c hild growing into adulthood. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Inform ation, Inc. From Library Journal An account of street life in 19 50s Singapore from someone who knew it well. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist This memorable novel wr itten entirely in broken-English street slang tells the tale of t he Spider Boys, street urchins in 1950s Singapore who gain power and prestige by fighting their trained wrestling spiders. The plo t follows Kwang, the local spider-wrestling champion, as he wins one match after the other, ultimately making it to the championsh ips and scoring big money. But the real story is that of his frie nds--unwanted, orphaned street children who make a little money w orking for a nefarious local thug, spend it betting on the spider -wrestling matches, and live in ramshackle, commune-like dwelling s with no adult supervision. Packed with vivid, unforgettable cha racters and interwoven with flavorful Chinese superstitions and f olktales, the novel reveals the harsh, violent world of children existing in a turbulent world. Although difficult to follow at fi rst, Spider Boys is ultimately an astonishing, mesmerizing tale. Kathleen Hughes.
