Malaysian novels in English: Looking at lesser-known writers


In the period from 1994-2003, self-published women novelists set the development of the Malaysian novel in English (MNE) on a new trajectory by proving that novelists don’t have to be academics; that their novels can address serious issues in an entertaining way; and that they can use the Internet to reach readers throughout the world.

In the decade from 2004-2014, no less than 66 new MNEs were published, 12 in 2014 alone.
