SILVERFISHBOOKS - LIST OF PUBLICATIONS - 25 MARCH 2004
Silverfish New Writing 1: Amir Muhammad (Ed)
An anthology of stories from Malaysia, Singapore and beyond.
This project was started off as one involving short stories from Malaysia only. Singapore was later included because of the common historical and cultural background (and baggage). But this being the internet age, the project refused to be contained. Soon submisions were received from all over the world. So, while most of the stories are from Malaysia and Singapore, there is a sprinkling from beyond. A snapshot of current writing in English.
Amir Muhamad is a Malaysian writer and film maker.
Price: USD 12.00
Silverfish New Writing 2: Satendra Nandan(Ed)
An anthology of stories from Malaysia, Singapore and beyond.
This project was launched after the tremendous success of SNW1. This time round it was sponsored by the Australian High Commission in Malaysia and efforts were made to solicit submisions from Austrlia as well, apart from Malaysia and Singapore. Over 500 submisions were received. This volume contains several pieces by Australian writers although the majority of the pieces are from Malaysia and Singapore.
Satendra Nandan is a Professor in the University of Canberra
Price: USD 12.00
Eight Plays: Huzir Sulaiman
A delightful collection of eight plays by Malaysia's leading dramatist, acclaimed for his vital, inventive language an darkly humourous insight. This collection brings together his plays from 1998 to 2002 including Atomic Jaya, The Smell of Language, Hip-Hopera, Notes on Life and Love and Painting, Election Day, Those four Sisters Fernandez, Ocupation and Whatever That Is.
Huzir Sulaiman was born in Selangor, Malaysia in 1973. He is the Artistic Director of the Straits Theatre Company, Kuala Lumpur which he founded in 1996. He is also the co-founder of Checkpoint Theatre in Singapore.
Price: USD 14.00
The Other Malaysia: Farish A Noor
Writings on Malaysia's Subaltern History
The Other Malaysia is a compilation of some of the articles by Farish A Noor that were published in the online daily Malaysiakini.com. His writings aim to unearth the forgotten and marginalised aspects of Malaysian history in an attempt to deconstruct some of the more settled and existentialist understandings upon which Malaysian politics, culture and social life are premised. And extremely important book for anyone trying to understand political Malaysia.
Farish A Noor is a Malaysian political scientist and human rights activist.
Price: USD 15.00
nineteen: Joan Lau (Ed)
A collection of stories by women
nineteen: as Joan Lau says in her foreword to the book, is not a book of women's writings but a collection of stories by women and ultimately there are only two types of writings - good and bad. nineteen is a collection of nineteen stories - nine by Malaysians, three from Singapore, three from Australia, two from Hong Kong and two from the Philippines.
Price: USD 10.00
Silverfish New Writing 3: Dina Zaman & Mohammad A Quayum (Ed)
New writing from Malaysia, Singapore and beyond
This is a continuation of the series started with SNW1. This collection features 10 stories from Malaysia, 4 from Singapore, 2 from Australia, and 1 each from Hong Kong, India and Korea. All previously unpublished with some venturing into areas previously thought taboo.

Dr. Mohammad A Quayum is a Professor at University Putra Malaysia
Price: USD 12.00
Firefly: Bernie Tan
In 1991, Wings/BBDO was the first Malaysian agency (and only the second Asian after Japan) to be awarded the Max Lewis Memorial Challenge Trophy. Mary Bernadette Tan (Bernie) was the brilliant creative mind behind it.
The youngest in a family of four, Bernie was an alchoholic at 14, did heroin at 16, was anorexic at 18 and was sent to the State Mental Institution at 20.
A tragic true story of love (or the lack of it) and courage.
Price: USD12.00
Collateral Damage: Sharon Bakar (Ed)
A Silverfish anthology of short stories
The chillingly clinical phrase collateral damage was originally coined by the Pentagon during the first Gulf War. It was used to euphemistically refer to the deaths and maimings (to say nothing of destroyed livelihoods, disrupted family lives and lost hopes) of innocent civilians who got caught in the crossfire. It rendered those casualties invisible in official reports and television broadcasts, and effectively kept them off the public conscience. These are a few writer's takes.
Price: USD 12.00
Blue Moon: Joshua Parapuram
A novel
Some years into the new millenium, and the leadership has changed hands both in Malaysia and Singapore. But old issues and rivalries remain. Then war breaks out...
Joshua Parapuram dares us to think the unthinkable and teases us with his wit.
Price: USD 14.00
Green is the Colour: Lloyd Fernando
A novel

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time
Mark Haddon
Definitions
35.90
Reviewed by Raman
In stock
Synopsis
This is the most amazing book I have read in a while and the most amazing book of all time. Mark Haddon writes this (his first novel) from the point of view of an autistic 15-year-old. He takes the reader into the mind of an autistic child and creates a character of such empathy that most readers will begin to feel it immediately. For the autistic person, life becomes a very confusing mess of constantly competing signals. Mark Haddon is brilliant.

In the Shadow of a Saint
Ken Wiwa
Reviewed by
Synopsis
"That was the final straw for me. I realized that the politicians didn't care that my father was dead. All the moral indignation in the world wasn't going to change the fact that Ken Saro-Wiwa was, to them, a minor detail in a bigger picture."
Somehow we always suspected that. But we prefer not to believe it to be true - at least of some politicians. But amongst the politicians Ken Wiwa refers to here is Nelson Mandela - The Saint himself. But Ken Wiwa is generous enough to attribute Mandela's indifference to his handlers. It would be sacrilegious to suggest otherwise |

Year of storytellers
By ABBY WONG
A book buyer celebrates the notable titles set to be released throughout this landmark year for literary fiction.
I have never been as bored with fiction as I was in 2008. It was a barren year for novelists, and the only highlights for story-lovers were Jhu-mpa Lahiri’s Unaccustomed Earth, Paul Auster’s Man in the Dark, Ha Jin’s Beijing Coma, and Robert Bolano’s 2666. Even the Booker Prize shortlist last year was, in my opinion, rather lacklustre.
As my pleasurable flings with fictional characters became nearly non-existent, I turned to real people and real issues, devouring Barack Oba-ma’s Dreams from My Father and Ro-bert Frisk’s The Age of the Warrior. I even found Charles Wheelan’s Naked Economics surprisingly engaging, and E.H. Gombrich’s A Little History of the World highly entertaining.
The writer’s favourite three titles among the upcoming crop of literary blockbusters.
But the real world will have to take a back seat now, for this is the year we return to the dazzling world of fiction, embracing the return of the kings who used to reign: the storytellers.
First to ascend is Chinese writer Yiyun Li, who wowed the world in 2006 with her awesome collection of short stories, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers. In her upcoming debut novel, The Vagrants (Picador, out this month, to be reviewed soon in StarMag), everyone in a provincial village is affected when a young woman is sentenced to death for speaking out against the Cultural Revolution. To fellow villagers, that is an outrage; to the rest of the world, it is humanism stifled by Maoism; to readers in countries where democracy is feigned, a plight all too familiar.
And those who have been on tenterhooks awaiting the sophomore effort of our own London-based au-thor, Tash Aw, after his best-selling debut, The Harmony Silk Factory, will be glad to know his next epic will be out soon. Entitled Map of the Invisible World (Fourth Estate, out in April), it is set in Indonesia after World War II. Abandoned by his mo-ther and separated from his brother, 16-year-old orphan Adam is taken in by Karl, an artist. When Karl is arrested by the army for dubious reasons, Adam is determined to find him in the tumultuous world ruled by Sukarno’s iron fists. Let’s hope this one will inspire as much interest in writing his last effort did among Malaysians.
The wonderfully witty Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is finally back in print! My admiration for her 2003 debut, Purple Hibiscus, is beyond words. Liked a mad woman, I kept scouring bookstores for anything written by her, and was restless until I heard news of her next novel, The Thing Around Your Neck (Fourth Estate, April).
A collection of 12 stunning short stories focusing on ties between men and women, parents and children, and Nigeria (where Adichie was born) and the United States (where she studied and lives part of the time now), this sublimely beautiful title will indubitably drive me batty again, making me reread all of Adichie’s other works as though I had never read them before.
If Adichie’s stories are gripping then those by Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho are inspiring. I feel a sort of peace descend on me when I think of his books. But Coelho is not God (as some rabid fans contend!). He simply writes books that enlighten and empower millions of people. Better still, books that answer the question, “How to be good?”
In his latest, entitled The Winner Stands Alone (Harper Collins, April), four characters stride forth in life to make their dreams real, only to meet defeat at the hands of their own selfishness and earthly desires.
What purported to be just a holiday read while vacationing in London turned out to be an extraordinary discovery for me: Remains of the Day, Kazuo Ishiguro’s third novel, published in 1989, when it won the Booker Prize. Reading it is like sitting in a Zen garden, admiring the simplicity and serenity of grass, gravel, and patterns. There are no flowery metaphors, no shocking ending, but there’s plenty of gentleness, subtlety, and wit.
In his next novel, Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall (Ran-dom House, May), five protagonists find themselves in potentially life-changing moments of their music-driven lives. Through their musings, , Ishiguro explores the subjects of love, relationship, music, and time.
And then we have Spanish writer Carlos Ruid Zafon. I read his almost 500-page Shadow of the Wind in three totally engrossed, gulps. After enduring for four years with nothing from him, I wager Zafon’s next, The Angel’s Game (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, June), will be read in one single sitting.
Who can resist the temptation of revisiting the creaking mansions and spooky alleys of Barcelona, teaming up with some of the friends we made in Shadow of the Wind, discovering new allies and villains, and entering once again Zafon’s mesmerizing labyrinth? This time, he promises to be darker and scarier.
But I must confess: I used to have a rather jaundiced view of Margaret Atwood and Martin Amis’ works, as I felt their writings were too daunting for my mediocre soul. But I was persuaded into becoming a fan after reading Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and Amis’ Money.
My literary gods ride again in September with eerily themed novels. Amis engages feminism and Islam in The Pregnant Widow (Jonathan Cape, September), while Atwood professes dystopia in The Year of the Flood (Random House, September).
With a foot on European soil and another in Muslim turf, Turkey has always been an intriguing country. What better way, besides making a trip there, to know it than reading Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk’s Istan-bul: Memories and the City (2005)? It turned out, however, to be a book too melancholic and sad for me.
But, having been deprived of literary pleasures last year, I am determined to read his next novel, The Museum of Innocence (Knopf, English translation out in October). Already a best-seller in Pamuk’s native Turkey where it was released in August in its original language, the book tells a story about love and obsession in Istanbul between 1975 and the present.
If you are like me and have an unscratched literary fiction itch, this is the year to scratch it most satisfyingly. Besides, in the midst of all this economic doom and gloom, what better way to save money on entertainment than to turn to books for a cheap, and lasting, pleasure? So happy reading in 2009, everyone!
Abby Wong, a book merchandising manager at Kinokuniya Bookstores Malaysia until she emigrated last year, has always read voraciously, and is looking forward to feeding her habit even more this year. |
