About

Tash Aw talks with Milena Adam at Literaturhaus Berlin about his novel The South (German edition: Der Süden), with the German text read by Luis Huayna.

After his grandfather's death, young Jay travels with his family to the farm they have inherited in the south, with its sick trees and fields dried out by months of drought. Jay is drawn to Chuan, the estate manager's son, as the family begins to drift apart. The book opens a planned cycle of novels.

The talk is in English.
