Bookmark: Afterwords #12 - Readings from Readings

Sharon Bakar has - for 12 years now - given Malaysian authors a space in which their work is allowed to be voiced out loud and he heard. “Readings @ Seksan” is now a staple of the Bangsar scene and the opportunity it has afforded young Malaysian writer’s - and readers - is incalculable. This week, on Afterwords, Uma speaks to Sharon about her brand new collection of Readings from Readings as well as the impact the monthly event has had on the Malaysian literary scene.
