Joss And Gold Tanizaki Prize 谷崎潤一郎賞 (1966) Author: Jane CostelloA piercing tale of a Malaysian womans quest for independence that combines the nuance of a poet with the ear of a born storyteller (Julia Watson, coeditor of Women, Autobiography, Theory ). Li An, a young Malaysian woman of Chinese descent, seeks to understand herself as the country around her struggles to determine its own identity. And much like the politically charged atmosphere of 1969 Kuala Lumpur, Li An must confront the contradictions within.
