Product Description

Review
"No English novelist has created Asian characters that are more convincing... the steamy, noisy, confused world they live in is conveyed with knowledge and skill." --"New Statesman"

"Like all good comic writers Mr. Burgess lives his creations as much as he mocks them. First class." --"Observer"

Product Description
Burgess's trilogy dissects the racial and social prejudices of post-war Malaya during the chaotic upheaval of independence. Through a succession of colourful characters he delineates the conflict and confusion arising from the enforced mingling of cultures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Touching portrayal of SE Asia and Islam, 19 Nov 2003
By Mark Kobayashi-Hillary (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Burgess had his own personal connections to Malaysia having worked there and being something of an outsider himself. These three inter-connected, but independent stories tell of the end of empire. Burgess manages to be sympathetic to his white characters whilst also explaining the hopes and desires of the local people. It is of particular interest to anyone who knows modern Malaysia and Singapore. This book deserves far more acclaim as it documents the end of the British empire in the region without any patronising voice of reason. In addition to being a wonderful historical document, it is a fantastic read and the wonderful characters will keep you turning pages late into the night.
