Lettres-de-Malaisie

   

I immediately liked the Facebook page Lettres-de-Malaisie, especially since it had a copy of Trois Autres Malaisie among many other books on its photo page. Trois Autres Malaisie just had its fourth review, the first in a French magazine, too, Petit Futé. 

 

According to the about section, Lettres-de-Malaisie is "La littérature en provenance de Malaisie et de l'archipel malayophone, sous toutes ses formes et dans toutes les langues."

Check it out and like it, too.

Trois Autres Malaisie Reviewed in Petit Futé mag-May-June 2012

Here’s the brief review in Petit Futé.  (Had trouble uploading the PDF page with all the other reviews, eight in all.  This was the first review at top left of page!) 

Multiple Malaisie

Une immersion dans le quotidien et les coustumes traditionnelles des communautés malaise, chinoise et indienne de Malaisie : c’est ce que nous propose Robert Raymer dans ce recueil de quatorze nouvelles agréablement illustrées.  Au fil de ces récits nous est livré le portrait d’une société composite, à la richesse culturelle fascinante, où les communautés se croisent mais peinent aussi parfois a se mélanger.  Un dépaysement rare, au sujet d'un pays dont on parle peu.
