The Sheep and the Guardians
In the wake of the Madoff scandal, this compelling tale is a searing indictment of the SEC and FINRA regulators who allowed market manipulation and outright larceny to infest America's capital markets. Against a backdrop of a traumatic financial meltdown, a few tenacious Pro Se litigants drop in uninvited on the unfamiliar turf of a dysfunctional Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware. Follow the author as he navigates an unchartered path through a financial and legal wilderness inhabited by Taiwanese syndicates, Greenwich hedge funds, Fifth Avenue bankruptcy lawyers and complicit regulators. Along the way he is embraced by comrades who join him as he traverses the peaks and valleys of this improbable journey. This quixotic account of how this 'band of brothers' fought the good fight against the cabal of crooks that ripped them off reads like a John Grisham novel. For some great court room drama, this book is a must read. As you turn the pages, you will be astounded by the financial outrages that go unchallenged by our delinquent regulators and the permissive judiciary that allows corporate swindlers to cover up fraud by declaring bankruptcy.
The Earnest Mask
In this Singapore Literature Prize-winning collection of stories, an aging Japanese ex-soldier, ignorant about the horrors of the Japanese Occupation, returns to Singapore for a nostalgic visit; a young boy’s sole contact with his father consists of a weekly meeting at McDonald’s; and a hopeful employee tries to win over his tumour-stricken boss with traditional Chinese medicine. Set against the backdrop of Singapore’s rapid development from the 1980s to the early 2000s, the poignant and witty stories in The Earnest Mask peel back the veneer of official history, revealing flashes of the personal stories buried beneath.
