Tash Aw recommends
Day (2023)
Michael Cunningham
"Few writers capture the crazy contradictions of modern life with as much clarity and wisdom as Michael Cunningham. Day glows beauty and energy; its characters slip off the page and into your life."
Wandering Souls (2023)
Cecile Pin
"Meticulously researched and beautifully imagined, Wandering Soul is a deeply affecting debut, a restless inquiry into the nature of loss, kinship and survival."
Tale of the Dreamer's Son (2022)
Preeta Samarasan
"Politics, religion, culture and love collide on every page of Preeta Samarasan's new novel. At once furious and funny, majestic and intimate, Tale of the Dreamer's Son is an ode to the glorious and complex mess that is Malaysia."
