Über diesen Titel

Críticas

This is Tiang doing what he does best. More so than provoke, his novel makes an admirably human attempt to translate lived experience into fiction and nudge its way towards a sympathetic understanding. State Of Emergency is a compelling, important piece of work from one of Singapore's finest living authors. --Toh Wen Li, The Straits Times

Reseña del editor

A woman finds herself questioned for a conspiracy she did not take part in. A son flees to London to escape from a father, wracked by betrayal. A journalist seeks to uncover the truth of the place she once called home. A young wife leaves her husband and children behind to fight for freedom in the jungles of Malaya. The struggles against communism may have started decades ago, but it has left deep scars across the region. State of Emergency traces the leftist movements of Singapore and Malaysia from the 1940s to the present day, centring on a family trying to navigate the choppy political currents of the region.
