Ivan Huang is a writer and filmmaker based in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. He makes quiet, slightly off-kilter stories about memory, guilt, and the things passed down without anyone meaning to, like silence, illness, or a fondness for warm milk. His work often follow overlooked objects, awkward conversations, and strange coincidences, with a soft spot for the surreal and the sincere. He’s interested in how we stay tender while things fall apart, and how small gestures like walking the same road, humming an old tune, can carry entire lifetimes. This is his first time joining KL Art Book Fair.

Publication/Work:
1. Harap-Harap: Tiga Cerpen
Description: Three glimpses of primary schoolboys chasing love, dreams, and selfhood at the same school. A boy writes secret poems for the class monitor and hides them in her locker. Another boy confesses his dreams of being an astronaut, but only to the goats at the school farm. A third boy skips group prayer to bury a dead frog behind the library.

2. Any Mountain Will Do: Three Shorts
Description: A man plans a trip to escape a quiet despair. At a collage exhibit, a visitor stumbles upon a lost photo of her mother. A man’s poster for his missing cat keeps vanishing without a trace.
(B6 Zine)
3. Fruits, Fruits, Fruits: Three Short Stories
Description: A man visits a strange store that only sells guavas. A watermelon farmer and his dog awaken to a gentle, magical surprise. A soul returns as a stuffed rabbit and meets a fallen satsuma.

4. Aku Sekaki Payung, dan cerita-cerita lain
Description: A modern reinterpretation of the autobiography essays we used to write in primary school. An umbrella made from leftover machine parts finds a companion. A pencil resents its blocked, fumbling owner. A pair of shoes notice their wanderer keeps stopping at the same corner of the city night after night.
(B6 Zine)
5. Earnestness: Three Short Stories
Description: A woman confronts her ex about his play based on their past. One being tries to pass on a secret, while the other negotiates what a secret truly is. A poet and a filmmaker ask what it means to be honest in art.
