Juliette Yu-Ming Lizeray launches her Epigram Books field guide to Singapore's snakes at The Arts House, in conversation with Melissa De Silva.
A field guide to Singapore's snakes, written by someone who has met a few in the wild and lived to tell it. Juliette Yu-Ming Lizeray launches Snakes of Singapore: A Slightly Unhinged Field Guide — published by Epigram Books — at The Arts House, in conversation with Melissa De Silva for Singapore Writers Festival 2026. Over the hour she talks through how the book came together, from the writing itself to the encounters with snakes that fed into it.
She also gets into the harder parts: what it took to write this while navigating ADHD, and the fear and misunderstandings that follow snakes around — the gap between what people assume about them and what is actually out there. It runs Sun 22 Nov 2026, 1.30pm to 2.30pm, and entry is free.
