The South by Tash Aw
LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2025 'Spellbinding' THE TIMES 'An exquisite, languorous novel' OBSERVER 'Heartstoppingly vivid' OISIN MCKENNA'Tash Aw presents a world as timeless as the worlds brought to us by Turgenev and VS. Naipaul, and yet catches the subtle and unstoppable changes each generation faces. Reflecting the human entanglements that come with home, land, and homeland, The South is a shimmeringly intelligent and elegiacally intimate novel' Yiyun Li, author of Wednesday's Child
‘Tash Aw’s The South is a mesmerising tale of love, courage, and endurance. Like any significant novel, it’s also infused with humour, longing, and other aspects of humanity too subtle and pervasive to be named by me. And, like any significant novel, it’s both heartbreaking and joyful’ Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours and Day
'The South is a sublime novel from one of the most important writers of our present' Édouard Louis, author of The End of Eddy and Change
'Everything about this novel is heartstoppingly vivid: its physical and emotional and social landscapes are rendered in sumptuous, shocking detail, while its meditations on desire and family are ecstatic and devastating all at once. It's exquisite' Oisín McKenna, author of Evenings and Weekends
'The South blooms as an epic, unconstrained by chronology or fate. Fluent in the vocabulary of change, Tash Aw's fifth novel gifts us a radiant and generous vision of our relationship to home, love and ourselves. I wanted to live in it forever — even knowing what I do now, about time' Jemimah Wei, author of The Original Daughter
