Malaysia's rich linguistic diversity has inspired PEN Malaysia to launch Connections, a book series that introduces readers to local literary works originally written in different languages.
The first title in the series, Objects Of Desire, features 10 Mahua stories that range from the surreal to the grounded, offering readers a glimpse into the preoccupations and concerns of some of the most talented contemporary writers in this field.
