Do we have any Malay writers writing novels in English? Yg I tau sikit sangat, macam sangat kurang.....kalau korang tau ada banyak ke, cuba list skit...

Ada dua nama yang Hami ingat:

1.Shahreen Kamaluddin
- "YOU ARE WHAT YOU BELIEVE" (1992, 1993)

Satu bestseller untuk pembangunan diri dan motivasi.

2. Zariani Abdul Rahman
- "DANCE OF DEATH" (1989) - kompilasi poems
- "ESCAPE FROM BERAKAS! 1962 BRUNEI REVOLT" (1992)
- "HITLER & THE WANDERING JEW" (1994)

Penulisan beliau lebih tentang sejarah politik. Banyak research dan style dia lantang.

yang malaysian but bukan malay la, tash aw, yang menag award baru baru ni buku dia "the silk factory" kalau tak salah, pas tu dr farish a noor, political writer, pas tu anita sundararaj tulis banana leaf man,, and the youngest malaysian to ever have written a book is that chinese girl, yang tulis buku mengenai musical instrument kat malaysia ni, tak ingat tajuk dia apa. kalau young malay writers, writing in english, tak tahu sangat, rasanya tak banyak kot, but i agree kat silverfish banyak budding writers.

dulu ada seorang.. wartawan nst.. dina zaman... gong kapas column
dia bukak blog, sambil2 tulis cerpen part time..
cerpen dia banyak yang bagus-bagus, sebab depicts masyarakat malaysia khususnya melayu macammana..

salah satu cerpen dia yang pernah aku baca pasal penguguran anak.. so real sampai dia pernah cerita kawan dia tanya kat dia adakah dia pernah mengugurkan anak..

dina zaman masih lagi menulis, dalam column the star/NST, i can't remember...

dia menulis from the perspective of a muslim woman...

salam... ade sesapa yg bc english pieces written by malaysian authors x? we had malaysian literature wen we were in college, but unfortunately, the selected pieces were rather crappy the issues were all quite heavy...
so ade suggestion buku2 yg interesting? currently i'm engaged to adibah amin's 'as i was passing...'. it's witty, it's light... recommended!

cik_kaer

ooo..best ye buku tuh? kite cam beli tapi takut

mummydhani

best x dina zaman's piece?

malaysian writers ni mostly bahasa derang agak tinggi, so reading pon jd stiff je. not really fun. adibah amin, on the other hand, writes so nonchalantly, the language pon quite simple... & the issues presented r those yg kite bleh relate... actually 'as i was passing' was a column in nst years back (in the 70s) written by adibah amin. so tis is actually a compilation la...

cik_kaer

dina zaman...kite bace sket baru ..bahasa die pun cam relax...tak la ala

i am merging this with another topic yaaa

Icahn

Aku up kan balik thread ni.
Aku baru baca pasal Tash Aw, power gak this guy. Tapi ramai lawyer yg jadi writer yer?

TandooriPayat

Tash Aw power...tapi tu la author mcm dia x dpt recognition..

Shirley Lim pon best.

Amir Muhammad dah formed company Matahari Books (ade group dia kat FB),aku rasa this is one way to promote Malaysian writings in English.

Aku suka Salleh Ben Joned. His works maybe too honest and not all boleh terima, but i like his wits
