Readers gather at the National Library to hash out whether Shen Tao's debut, The Poet Empress, actually earned the attention it got.
Worth the Hype? Rant & Rave! is a book discussion session built around The Poet Empress, the debut title from Shen Tao. Readers who have finished the book come together to talk it through, and the conversation centres on one question: did it live up to the attention it received? Bring your verdict, or bring your doubts.
It runs Sat 24 Oct 2026, 11am to 12.30pm, in the Visitors Briefing Room on Level 1 of the National Library Building, and the session is conducted in English. Admission is for adults — young adults 18 to 35, adults 36 to 49, and seniors 50 and above. If you have opinions about a much-talked-about debut, this is the room for them.
