This is one of the major pieces of fiction in English to come out of Malaysia in the last decade. The story centres on Johnny Lim, to all appearances an archetypal Malaysian wide boy. To some he was a traitor to the Malayan Communist party, to others a freedom fighter. We can try to make up our own minds as we read the different perceptions of him as related by his son, his wife and an English friend. 378 pages
