  <default_description>Conrad, Maugham, and Burgess have shaped our perceptions of Malaysia. Now, with The Harmony Silk Factory, we have an authentic Malaysian voice that remaps this literary landscape. Through his examination of a mysterious and larger than life character - hero or traitor? - Tash Aw gives us an exquisitely written look into another culture at a moment of crisis.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[There are not enough good books about Malaysia, much less about the British colonies there.

I particularly liked that it was told in different voices with very different perspectives on the main c...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67316265">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is the story of Johnny Lim, told by 3 different people - his son, his wife and his acquaintance/friend, none of whom truly knew the whole man.  I loved the way each perspective is so different from the other, and the sense in the end that none of us really know another person. ]]></body>
