Summary
The Casanova of Singapore is a fictional memoir tracing one man’s journey through three decades of desire, detachment, and emotional reckoning in modern Singapore. From the 1990s to the 2010s, the protagonist moves through a parade of encounters, some tender, some transactional, with women who each leave a mark. Set against a rapidly changing Southeast Asia, the story explores masculinity, loneliness, cultural expectations, and the quiet toll of a life lived chasing pleasure over connection. Written in raw, intimate prose, the memoir confronts not just sex, but the illusion of control, the ache of regret, and the slow, painful work of becoming someone capable of love. As the protagonist ages, he begins to see his past not as conquest, but as consequence. This is not just a story of who he touched, but who touched him, and who he failed to hold on to.
