A deity laments her lost loves. A pickpocket steals more than just money. A young man wrestles with the colour of the homes he builds. In Home Groan, we take a deep look at Penang. From idyllic beaches to dangerous jungle, reflections on the past to current issues, island living to mainland life, we explore our beloved home state in both prose and poetry, spinning tall tales and telling it as it is. This is your Penang. This is your home. Come groan with us.

One takes a very long emotional rollercoaster ride in a novel, but in an anthology, one takes many many short emotional rides.
