"I believe in the sanctity of the ordinariness of everyday life: beyond its charmed boundaries lies confusion." So speaks the voice of conservatism and conformity. But shouldn't one fly, push oneself to the limit and beyond, break all rules? With humor and intelligence, the stories in Saving the Rainforest explore the tensions that can arise when the desire for personal fulfillment clashes with society's norms.

Some have been evergreen titles over the years, others have been unjustly neglected. Authors in the series include: Catherine Lim, Claire Tham, Colin Cheong, Michael Chiang, Minfong Ho, Ovidia Yu and Philip Jeyaretnam.
