| Synopsis: |
This book brings together for the first time interviews with sixteen major writers in the English language from Malaysia and Singapore. Three generations of writers representing various literary genres and ethnic groups come together to make this book fully illustrative of the literature of the two countries. In their respective interviews, the writers discuss significant issues pertaining to their own lives, careers, and works. They also explain what they think of the present state of their own societies, literatures, and cultures, and where they stand vis-a-vis the questions of religion, science, technology, censorship, gender, ethnicity, multi-culturalism, nationalism, and globalisation. Moreover, the writers comment on the challenges they encounter writing in an «alien language as well as in an environment of growing materialism and technocracy; and, finally, they discuss the future of their own writing and writing in English in Malaysia and Singapore more generally. |
