Tash Aw: The South

About

Tash Aw's new novel tells the story of a family in Malaysia in the late 1990s. Jay and his family must manage his late grandfather's farm, but wild nature constantly reclaims it. The suffocating atmosphere mirrors the Asian financial crisis and provides the backdrop for Jay's coming-of-age and his relationship with Chuan, the farm manager's son.
