Just a quick heads-up and a message of congrats to one of our clients and longtime friend, Robert Raymer because his short story has been chosen as one of the literature texts for SPM 2008. His story is among the five selected texts under the short story section - other writers of this section include Kurt Vonnegut, Vivian Alcock, Roald Dahl and Anva Sitaram.
We last saw him during Chinese New Year when we were back in Kuching, Sarawak.
We just heard from him that his short story “Neighbours” will be used as one of the texts in next year’s SPM exams. You can download and read this story from his website at www.BorneoExpatWriter.com . What this means is that hundreds and thousands of Malaysian teenagers sitting for their 2008 SPM will be analysing his story. It must be so exciting! So congratulations are in order for Robert.
In case you do not know, Robert is a prolific writer who has written and published more than 350 short stories and articles for various magazines such as Going Places, Reader’s Digest and lots more. He is now of course teaching Creative Writing at UNIMAS, Sarawak.
Once again, congrats Robert!
