Enright Affair.

When we were PC-ing a poem by DJ Enright some time back, Whitby was telling us about Enright's stint in Singapore as a Literature Professor. Apparently the whole incident was called the "Enright Affair", and as recently as 2004 it was invoked in the discussion revolving around the Esplanade. If you're doing culture for GP, maybe this might help. Haha.

Here's an excerpt from "Singapore: the unexpected nation" (found via Google Books). It's enlargeable if you cant read it properly. And a page is missing, but you'll still get the gist of it.







And here's Enright's obituary. IMO, obituaries are better summaries of a person's life than Wikipedia.

Out.
