Circuit Gaymes is the gamification of the 'tanjong pagar gays' ecosystem. many parts of its whole.

Tanjong Pagar is not just a place. It is a posture, a password, a pecking order. A little principality of polish and pretence, where taste becomes rank, loneliness becomes theatre, and attention is too often mistaken for love.

Borrowing its form from the Islamic tradition of tabaqat, this book records a rather different class of notable lives: the pious and the profane, the polished and the pathetic, the married, the mourning and the merely passing.

through bars, homepars, gym mirrors, circuit dancefloors and WhatsApp whispers. Men beautiful enough to be forgiven, rich enough to be excused, discreet enough to survive, or funny enough to remain invited.

Part autobiography by indirection, part fiction by omission. this is a record of beauty, booty, class, shame, delusion and desire.

A tabaqat of men who mattered.
Or imagined they did.
