'So wise and so well done. It made me wish it were much longer than it is' Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie From the award-winning author of Five Star Billionaire and We, The Survivors comes a whirlwind personal history of modern Asia, as told through his Malaysian and Chinese heritage. If we are lucky we will find writing that grips us with its vitality, beauty and significance  - Strangers on a Pier is like that' Deborah Levy In Strangers on a Pier, acclaimed author Tash Aw explores the panoramic cultural vitality of modern Asia through his own complicated family story of migration and adaptation, which is reflected in his own face. From a taxi ride in present-day Bangkok, to eating Kentucky Fried Chicken in 1980s Kuala Lumpur, to his grandfathers' treacherous boat journeys to Malaysia from mainland China in the 1920s, Aw weaves together stories of insiders and outsiders, images from rural villages to megacity night clubs, and voices in a dizzying variety of languages, dialects, and slangs, to create an intricate and astoundingly vivid portrait of a place caught between the fast-approaching future and a past that won't let go.… (mehr)

In questo breve e intenso saggio, Tash Aw accompagna il lettore in un tour guidato nel proprio terreno più intimo: la sua faccia. La vitalità culturale dell'Asia moderna è riflessa nel suo stesso volto, il tono cangiante della sua pelle e i suoi lineamenti riflettono una complicata storia familiare fatta di migrazione e adattamento. Gli stranieri del titolo, smarriti su un molo, sono i nonni dell'autore, approdati a Singapore dopo l'insidioso viaggio in barca per fuggire dalla Cina verso la Malesia negli anni Venti. Dal porto di Singapore, a una corsa in taxi nella Bangkok di oggi, a un'abbuffata da Kentucky Fried Chicken nella Kuala Lumpur degli anni Ottanta, Aw tesse storie di inclusione ed esclusione, tra scenari che saltano da villaggi rurali a club notturni e una varietà vertiginosa di lingue, dialetti e slang, per creare un ritratto sorprendentemente intricato e vivido di un luogo stretto tra il futuro in rapido avvicinamento e un passato che non si lascia andare. "Lui era un immigrato. Io ero il nipote di un immigrato. Non avremmo mai avuto lo stesso sguardo sul mondo." Il libro è completato da un'intervista all'autore fatta in esclusiva per l'edizione italiana del volume.
