For scrawny, bespectacled Harry, being a man's man was an impossible daydream. But as he grew older in urban Singapore and delved deeper into the infinitely intricate maze that was Gen Y adolescence, he started to wonder, did he get masculinity all wrong? Would he ever be able to break away from the childish Harry he had come to detest so? Through fetid jungles and the South China Sea, high up in the Himalayas and deep within a pair of smiling, glistening eyes; STRAWBERRY, HERBIVORE, SNOWFLAKE recounts the coming-of-age journey of a shy immigrant boy as he battled culture, social pressure and the voices in his head in a desperate search for the magical formula that would finally make him a real man.
