Currently reading some Malaysian literature THE RETURN by KS Maniam is an autobiographical tale about the author growing up poor on in Northern Malaysia-His family did the laundry for a local hospital among others. It’s well written and evocative but so far feels more like a collection of anecdotal stories. That being said, the author really has a talent for creating a scene not just description of things but mood, tension, etc.
