Map
of the Invisible World
by Tash Aw
“One day
soldiers came and took Karl away. Adam
watched, silent, hiding in the bushes. Tash Aw's second novel, a worthy
successor to The Harmony Silk Factory, opens evocatively. Gently, and
ever so
slowly, we are led into 1960s Indonesia and Malaysia, the two countries
struggling with independence, fighting the communists and each other….
Aw
handles both political upheaval and the personal trauma it generates
with
considerable skill and verve. However, his real talent is for
description. His
prose is vividly lyrical; and one can almost feel the heat and smell
the sweat
of Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur.”
Ziauddin
Sardar, The Independent
If
you love reading and want
to meet like-minded people informally to have a snack, a drink, and –
above all
– to discuss a contemporary text, just come along.
6.15pm-8pm,
