Tash Aw: The South

About

The new novel by Tash Aw, an author nominated for the Booker Prize on several occasions, tells the story of a family in Malaysia in the late 1990s. The sultry, charged air becomes an ambiguous metaphor reflecting the tense situation of the Asian financial crisis and forms the atmospheric backdrop to the coming-of-age of sixteen-year-old Jay.
