A treasure of Irish literary fiction set in DONEGAL
The Malayan Trilogy
Location(s): Malaysia (Malaya)
Genre(s): Fiction
Era(s): 1950s
This trilogy – “Time for a Tiger”, “The Enemy in the Blanket” and “Beds in the East” – relate the story of race relations in post-war Malaysia on the cusp of independence. Burgess had served in the colonial service, and these books do justice to characters who are Malay, Tamil and Chinese as well as British. It’s a great read if you’re visiting Malaysia, particularly some of the smaller cities with pre-war architecture and atmosphere, such as Penang, Malacca or Kuching.
