Alongside this, Aw explores a failing marriage and generational regret. Longlisted for the Booker Prize, The South is an intimate meditation on belonging, change, and becoming.About the Speaker:Tash Aw is the author of five novels, including, most recently, The South, and a memoir of a Chinese-Malaysian family, Strangers on a Pier, finalist for the Los Angeles Book Prize.
