From Latin gaudium meaning joy, Gaudy Boy publishes books and media that delight readers, listeners, and viewers with the various powers of art.

The name is taken from the poem "Gaudy Turnout" by Singaporean author Arthur Yap, about his time abroad in 1970's Leeds, UK. Similarly inspired, Gaudy Boy brings literary works by authors of Asian heritage to the attention of an American audience. We publish poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction of exceptional merit.

Season 1: Malay Sketches is a collection of stories that borrows its name from a book of anecdotes by colonial governor Frank Swettenhem describing Malay life on the peninsula. In Alfian Sa'at's hands, these sketches are re-imagined as flash fictions that record the lives of members of the Malay community in Singapore. With precise and incisive prose, Malay Sketches offers the reader profound insights into the realities of life as an ethnic minority.

Malay Sketches #2 - The Hole

Malay Sketches #1 - A Hantu Tatek Story

Episode in Gaudy Boy
According to Malay folklore, a Hantu Tetek is a female ghost who murders young children staying out late at night. She kills them by squeezing their head between her breasts. She is not carnal, unlike her more famous cousin, the Pontianak. In some versions of the folklore, the breasts of the Hantu Tetek swarm with maggots. Sarimah, the story’s protagonist, recalls these tales of the buxomy ghost as she confronts news of her own mortality. “A Hantu Tetek Story” is read by novelist Gina Apostol, author of Insurrecto.

La Bala Mágica Marta es una periodista con un sexto sentido para detectar las mentiras que se publican y los intereses que a veces hay detrás de ellas. Ese talento natural hace que el Estado se interese por sus servicios y la contrata en una unidad especial de carácter reservado destinada a luchar contra la desinformación. Una vieja teoría de la conspiración capta su atención: “las empresas energéticas llevan años ocultando que la basura puede convertirse en combustible”. A medida que avanza en la investigación, Marta se va convenciendo de que quizá no se trate de un bulo. Comienza a creer que ha habido desapariciones de científicos, informes destruidos, periodistas que han salido de los medios en los que trabajaban… Incluso empieza a sospechar de sus propios jefes y de algunos de los expertos que le han ayudado a desentrañar otras teorías.
