“This beautifully written book re-examines Sinophone Malaysia as a site of multidirectional literary production that has facilitated a rethinking of modern Chinese literature as world literature. It will be extremely useful to scholars and students in Sinophone studies, modern Chinese literary studies, Southeast Asian studies, and comparative and world literature.” 
— E.K. Tan, author of Rethinking Chineseness: Translational Sinophone Identities in the Nanyang Literary World 

“This wide-ranging survey of Malaysian Chinese literature will serve as an introduction for readers new to writing from the region as well as a thoughtful recontextualization for those already familiar, sparking unexpected connections and broadening the frame of reference. A highly readable account brimming with erudition and a genuine enjoyment of literature.” 
— Jeremy Tiang, winner of the Singapore Literature Prize for State of Emergency
