The Resident Tourist Part 1 - Thryft

Autobiographical journey of self-discovery in Singapore.

If you've ever felt like an outsider in your own home, "The Resident Tourist Part 1" could speak to you. Troy Chin's honest portrayal of returning to his roots, only to feel disconnected, is both poignant and relatable. This graphic novel dives into the meaning of success in a culture that may not align with your own values, wrapped in a package of crisp illustrations and introspective storytelling. It's a read that's sure to resonate with anyone who's ever felt like they're not quite fitting in, no matter where they are.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Troy Chin might have made a mistake. A BIG mistake. Having left the music industry in New York City for his hometown in little-red-dotty Singapore, what's a loser who loves playing video games to do in a country obsessed with winning? The Resident Tourist is an ongoing autobiographical comic book narrative that began in 2007.
