Review of "Lovers & Strangers Revisited" by Georgette Tan
"Take Two" section, pg. 17, Borneo Post newspaper, Sunday 20 May 2007.
A funny thing happened when I organised our last literary event - Idle Nights at MOJO. A friend in KL heard that American expat writer Robert Raymer will be reading for us. She was terribly excited over the fact that one of her favourite authors is living in her hometown, and at the same time, terribly disappointed that she won't be here during the event.

Review
by Rachel Chew in Think Online
If novels are like movie soundtracks, short story anthologies would be akin to a best-of compilation. While that’s rarely a good thing in music, the analogy works as a compliment when it comes to Lovers and Strangers – Revisited. Written by Robert Raymer, an expat who’s been living in Malaysia for 20 years, Lovers is a collage of short stories mostly penned from a first person perspective—not as a foreigner in an exotic land, but an insider.
