We Are All Alone In This Anyway
An elderly widow fantasizes about celebrity after the death of her husband. An unexpected friendship blossoms between a young boy and his neighbor. A domestic helper hides a dark secret within her employer’s home. A troubled man opens his door to a childhood friend.
Set in Singapore, this compelling collection of stories explores the complexities of existence, loneliness, and human connection through a diverse cast of characters and narratives.
By revealing lives shaped by loss, longing, and uncertainty, these stories show how our deepest pains, while uniquely our own, also reflect a shared human experience of vulnerability, yearning, and the enduring search for meaning.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
