Malaysian author Tan Twan Eng wins Walter Scott prize for historical fiction novel
NEW YORK: Malaysian author Tan Twan Eng has won the Walter Scott Prize, which honours historical fiction writers, for his post-World War Two novel, The Garden of Evening Mists.


Tan, who was born in Penang, Malaysia, and lives in South Africa, accepted the prize on Friday at the Brewin Dolphin Borders Book Festival in Melrose, Scotland.
It was presented by the Duke of Buccleuch, who established the award four years ago.


The duke is a distant descendant of the prize's namesake, whose works include the 19th century historical novels Waverly, Ivanhoe and Rob Roy.
Tan is the first writer from outside the United Kingdom (UK) to win the award after new rules last year made books by authors from all Commonwealth nations eligible for the 25,000 pound (S$50,000) prize.


The Garden of Evenings Mists is set in the Malaysian jungle in the aftermath of World War Two and is Tan's second novel, following his 2007 book, The Gift of Rain. "The Garden of Evening Mists is the book that left the deepest imprint on us," the judging panel of Kirsty Wark, Louise Richardson, Jonathan Tweedie, Elizabeth Laird, Elizabeth Buccleuch and chair Alistair Moffat said in a statement.


"The poignancy of both remembering and forgetting is what this book is all about... It is pungent and atmospheric; a rich, enigmatic, layered novel in which landscapes part and merge, and part again," they said.


Other entries on the shortlist for the prize included Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel, who won the first prize in 2010, as well as novels by English writers Rose Tremain, Pat Barker and Anthony Quinn and Australian Thomas Keneally. - Reuters

sepatutnya novel2 yang dapat international award ni yang dipilih jadi teks sekolah kita, bukan macam novel Interkok yang ditulis oleh pengarang level kampung bawah tumpurung  ajah...tapi novel cina kominis takkan diterima kan, lebih baik pilih hasil busok busok orang kite, kan...

"The Malaysian writer Tan Twan Eng is an exception in what is generally   an Anglo-centric list. His first novel, The Gift of Rain, was described in   the Telegraph as an eccentric debut but was none the less longlisted for the   Booker Prize. His second book, published by small press Myrmidon, is set in   Malaya in 1949 and follows Yun Ling Teoh, a lawyer who has survived a   Japanese prisoner of war camp."

tahap sampah semua, mana nak menang

tengah menghabiskan buku ni...
bahasa yang diguna memang cantik, tapi kadang2 agak meleret-leret...kadang2 bila dah terlalu terlalu puitis pun boleh buat pembaca jadi bosan...
tapi itulah bagi aku kukuatan dalam cerita dia. Walaupun karakter2 agak mendatar, tapi diselamatkan dengan prosa2 menarik yang diguna penulis.

interlok untuk kesusasteraan melayu...
tak da kena mengena pun kalau nak ambil cerita cina komunis ni untuk english literature...


bercerita pasal interlok, teringat member2 aku dulu yang beria benar menentang buku ni...
tapi bila ditanya dah baca ke belum, rupanya cuma baca keratan2 perenggan yang kontrovasi tu ja...bukunya tak baca...puiihh...
sudahlah sekor2 memang jenis menghadap majalah hiburan ja, tapi cakap pasal buku interlok berkobar-kobar mengalahkan sasterawan negara...

selain daripada heols, Tash Aw pun penah mengharumkan nama Malaysia;

His first novel, The Harmony Silk Factory, was published in 2005. After Malaysian journalists reported that he had been paid over ￡500,000 for the novel, The Star and The New Straits Times called him the "RM3.5 million man", and local interest in his book deal continues today, even though the novelist himself has consistently denied the size of this advance, preferring to talk about the novel, which was longlisted for the 2005 Man Booker Prize and won the 2005 Whitbread Book Awards First Novel Award as well as the 2005 Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best First Novel (Asia Pacific region). It also made it to the long-list of the world's prestigious 2007 International Impac Dublin Award and the Guardian First Book Prize. It has thus far been translated into twenty languages. Aw cites his literary influences as Joseph Conrad, Vladimir Nabokov, Anthony Burgess, William Faulkner and Gustave Flaubert.
His second novel, titled Map of the Invisible World, was released in May 2009 to critical acclaim, with TIME Magazine calling it "a complex, gripping drama of private relationships," and describing "Aw matchless descriptive prose" and "immense intelligence and empathy."

tapi aku tak hadap novel berat sebegini apatah lagi jika ceritanya depressing.

akk pernah cuba baca novel melayu...tak kena dgn jiwa akk....kat rumah mak pun takdak nove ...

jujurnya susah nak tarik orang baca buku melayu...

bila buku cinta dikata taraf sampah..
tapi buku omputih genre chic lit macam dari little black dress atau buku tulisan stephanie meyer, sophie kinsella, belinda jones dll tu pula boleh pula baca...
sedangkan isinya kadang2 ada juga sampah macam buku cinta melayu...

samalah juga bila buku/malaysia buat cerita misteri atau magic, orang kata bodoh jalan cerita tak masuk akal...
tapi buku harry potter, buku fairy tales pasal cinderella, mak tiri jahat itulah yang kita suap kat anak2 dari kecil...

double standard?

kita nak buku melayu yang lebih matang, tapi berapa ramai sangat kat sini baca shannon ahmad atau faisal tehrani?
buku melayu dengan penulisan yang agak moden macam terbitan FIXI tu pun, berapa ramai sangat yang hadap...?

Kalau org Cina di Afrika Selatan, diorg dapat hak istimewa Bumiputera, dan boleh participate dlm dasar ekonomi negara utk Bumiputera. Kat sana dinamakan Black Economy Empowerment (BEE). Sbb kat sana diorg bahagikan kaum ikut 3 warna kulit. Black (African natives), White (European) dan Brown (anyone in between). Biasanya Brown nie utk Cape Malays dan Indian. Dalam BEE tu, tak silap aku, khas utk Black dan Brown jah. Pastu yg menariknya, org Jepun diorg akan kategorikan sbg White. Org Cina pulak dikategorikan sbg Black/Brown.
