First fictions from new writers (five from Malaysia, and one from the Maldives), a continuing Silverfish record of Malaysian history through literature. The best part of reading is learning something new, especially when they are about us, past and present. These pages are many untold and untellable stories that give us a glimpse of life in the infamous new villages during the emergency that will make us confront the limits of our hypocrisy, and simply laugh out loud. You'd be hard-pressed to get a better quick guide to Malaysia.
