All Broken Up and Dancing is a seminal novel written by the Singaporean author Kelvin Tan. Tan published the novel when he was 26 years old. The first edition was published by Thesaurus Media Publications in 1992, and the second edition, with an added book jacket, was marketed by Simpleman Books in 1998. Since its publication, the novel has gained a cult following amongst young adults in Singapore who are able to relate with Brinsley's (the main protagonist) search for identity and self-worth. Tan's follow-up, The Nethe(r);R which was printed in 2001, continues the theme of self-alienation in the city-state.
