Lit Fest Ruminations

Fresh from the George Town Literary Festival – the fourth in the series – and while waiting for their flight their respective homes in the Klang Valley, our hosts look back at ideas and notions embedded in the many conversations they had at the annual gab-fest. From the absence of Kassim Ahmad, and Sudhir Vadaketh’s Malayans to Zan Azlee’s suburbanites in Afghanistan and aspiring writers, we rummage about for GTLF gems.
