The South by Tash Aw review – an intimate epic begins | Tash Aw | The Guardian Two boys on the brink of adulthood in 1990s Malaysia, in the opening volume of a Proustian quartet

I just finished The South, without realising it's the first of four books. This makes me really happy, because The South is absolutely sublime. I've loved most of Tash Aw's books that I've read, but this is really special. Can't wait for the next one!

Barry Allan's review of The South 4/5: I really liked hanging out with most of the characters in this book, want to do it again, so it's a good thing that it's the first book in a quartet. The South of the title refers to an area in J...

I really enjoyed #TashAw The South - set on a failing orchard in southern Malaysia, it features the Lim family after Sui inherits, particularly young Jay's developing relationship with farm worker Chuan. Many tensions, softly explored.

"Aw’s #Malaysia is a universally resonant vision of a timeless lost world, and a historically precise portrait of a country undergoing rapid modernisation. #TheSouth takes place on a single farm in rural south Malaysia over a single summer in the 1990s" #TashAw www.theguardian.com/books/2025/f...
