Book Review: We, The Survivors in the New York Times
Published earlier this year in Europe, Affiliate Fellow Tash Aw's latest novel We, The Survivors came out yesterday in the United States and Canada.
Stacy Liu writes: “Aw is a precise stylist; with a few, lean images, he evokes a country on the cusp of change: a sofa still sheathed in plastic to protect it from everyday life, the rusting tin for Danish butter cookies now holding a man’s life savings, the small-time crook with three rings on each hand and cash held together with a rubber band.”
