When a
talented young artist captures the attention of the art world, forces beyond
her control align. Power plays pit money, ideals and families against the inner
workings of a competitive and closed art world.
In his
debut fiction, Woon Tai Ho gives us an insider's look into the creative world
he knows well. Set in modern-day Singapore, and drifting between worlds, Riot Green tells a gripping tale that
draws on rich Chinese traditions and beliefs. It puts the spotlight on the
institution of family, the jade of green that is supposed to protect us, but
can prove to be a riot of heartaches and secrets. It is a story of ties that
bind and those that divide. Like an abstract painting that buffers the obvious,
the story unravels deftly to show love and conspiracies, harmony and conflict,
chaos and order.
