It is by experiencing the varieties of love in depth that enables the private ego to be in spite of the threat of nonbeing. Writing against a residual colonial discourse of nonbeing and the mythical discourses of Asian modernity, traditional Malayness and adat ("custom") of the postcolonial state, the works Khoo discusses cut across a double colonization, in that these authors represent in literature both what concretely exists and the conditions that make such living impossible. The presence of both being and nonbeing forces the question of whether one ceases being a lover or a friend in death. |
