Horatio Archibald Marmaduke

A graphic memoir depicting one Peranakan’s humorous and poignant stories about her multigenerational family in Singapore.

Horatio Archibald Marmaduke: What My Father Wanted to Name Me is Pauline Gan’s tribute to her parents who grew up in pre-independence Singapore. Broken into vignettes, this personal journey (illustrated by award-winning artist Anngee Neo) takes us back to a time when boys were favoured for higher education and families huddled in their homes during the Japanese Occupation.
