If something like that happened you'd be traumatised, PTSD and everything and we see that. I kind of love that (not in a sadistic way □) I mean she's strong and don't get me wrong it's cool to see a badass overcome something like She's gone through but it's also not realistic.

Flint's titular detective is a misfit in the hypermasculine Singaporean police force culture: middle-aged, balding, overweight, disheveled, disorganized, and a bit of a klutz. The series began with the 2009 novel Inspector Singh Investigates: A Most Peculiar Malaysian Murder and runs seven books, the last of which was published in 2016. The new series is based on mystery novel series of the same name written by Malaysian author Shamini Flint.

No wonder then, really, that reinventing Lewis Carroll's fantastical, nonsensical creations into new forms has always proved irresistible. Alice falls down a rabbit hole, and steps through a mirror, into worlds where anything can happen, where even the sense of self is transformed: where a drink can make you shrink and a mushroom can make you grow where babies turn into pigs and a little girl can become queen where flowers and animals and playing cards all speak but logic and learning slip out of grasp. For books that are all about surprising transformations, it should perhaps be no real surprise that Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are among the most frequently adapted and reinterpreted stories ever written. ![]() |
