About this listen
Presenter James Crawford speaks to twice-Booker-nominated Chinese-Malaysian author Tash Aw about his latest novel, The South, and the three works that helped shape its creation.
Set during a scorching summer on drought-stricken farmland in rural Malaysia, The South follows protagonist Jay in a coming-of-age story about a family navigating a period of profound change.
Tash Aw’s chosen influences were Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin (1956), Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov (1897), and The Sea Wall by Marguerite Duras (1952).
The supporting contributor was Dr Bea Hitchman, author, and lecturer in Creative Writing at the University of Brighton. Producer: Rachael O’Neill Editor: Gillian Wheelan This was a BBC Audio Scotland production.
