By the Book: Malaysian Books, Recommended by Malaysians - Part 2

In the second of two episodes, we're using books and the written word to celebrate what it means to be Malaysian. We speak with four Malaysians and ask: What is a Malaysian book you would recommend, and why? What was your experience reading this book? And what does this book represent in terms of the idea of "Malaysian literature"? From poetry and new age fiction to imaginary creatures and folk tales, there’s something here for everyone!
