Writing a New Society
Writing a New Society is the first extended study of the novel in Malay and is a groundbreaking study of the relationship between social change and literary practice. The book traces the emergence of the genre from the 1920s and, drawing on 26 of Malaysia's best-known novels, argues that the form was developed as a vehicle for transforming Malay ideas about themselves and their society. Virginia Hooker focuses on the underlying anxiety about racial identity, which underpins much of Malay writing and examines how ethnic identity is constructed and expressed. In a radical break with the traditional notion of Malay society as being totally dependent on the Sultan, the book shows how the novelists centre their writings on descriptions of 'ordinary' Malays, and present the household as the primary site of change. Here the novels develop and describe a 'private' sphere where Malays who previously had no rights begin to exercise their initiative. The concept of social equality which inspires the novelists subverts many of the themes of modern Malay politics.

Yang Aneh Yang Magis
Fiksyen dalam buku yang anda pegang ini adalah sebuah labirin. Labirin yang mengelilingi belantara padat imej-imej aneh dan magikal. Bukan. Labirin tak dicipta untuk menemukan jawapan, tetapi dimemberikan anda pengalaman yang janggal. Keluar masuk, ke kiri ke kanan, ke depan dan belakang. Akhirnya berdiri di titik mula dengan lebih banyak soalan dan kerunsingan. Dua puluh cerpen yang dipilih dalam naskhah ini adalah pintu-pintu, masing-masing membawa ke ruang aneh dan magikal yang tersendiri. Manusia klon berinsang serta matahari yang dipunggah helikopter. Wanita yang mengandungkan bom juga ahli sihir yang mengakali Profesor. Naga yang kembali hidup. Manusia yang kehilangan lidah. Lagi. Dan lagi. Dan lagi. Sudahkah kami beritahu? Fiksyen dalam buku yang anda pegang ini adalah sebuah labirin. Yang aneh. Yang magis.
