Wicks, Peter (2002) From Kulim to Singapore: Catherine Lim's literary life. In: Singaporean literature in English: a critical reader. Universiti Putra Malaysia Press, Serdang, Malaysia, pp. 353-364. ISBN 983 2373 50 6
Abstract
The publication in 1993 by Heinemann Asia of a volume of stories entitled The Best of Catherine Lim emphasised the significant contribution which this talented author has made to recent Singaporean fiction. The 1993 edition
contains work from five of Catherine Lim's previously published collections, from Little Ironies (1978) to Deadline for Love (1992), and reflects the confidence which her publishers usually have in her capacity to draw a strong local reading audience. In fact, a Catherine Lim book is quite capable of attracting sales of 20,000 copies in a first edition.
