Malaysian author Zen Cho: Forget critics, focus on the story


The Library Is Open is an 'audio and visual book' series from Star2.com and TheStarTV.com that features writers, authors, poets, playwrights and screenwriters from Malaysian and around the world reading their work.

Malaysian author Zen Cho is currently making waves, both in the country and overseas, for her unique takes on fantasy and science fiction. Yet little do most people know, the very first work Cho ever crafted was a crime story.

Apparently, the precocious Cho made her fiction debut at the age of six, penning the thrilling tale of a girl whose pet bunny goes missing. She discovers it is the work of a gang of bad guys, who are kidnapping bunnies to make coats from their fur.
