Sinopsis

'Sometimes our past is the only truth-teller, specially when the real-life persons are not always factual to us, or when the personal memories likewise are not so certain over the years.' Such is the wisdom of kind-hearted Erasmus T. Yang, frustrated journalist wannabe and proprietor of aámama shopáin the fictional Southeast Asia of Tandomon, who finds himself inadvertently embroiled in the Sino-Soviet border clashes of the late 1960s. Told by journalist and award-winning novelist, Scott Shibuya Brown, the novel takes a comic look at one ambitious manâÇÖs efforts to promote a fraudulent war memorial, thereby almost precipitating international conflict through YangâÇÖs enthusiastic news reporting. Narrated in a charming first-person narrative of Singlish and Manglish (Singaporean and Malaysian English), as well as invented colloquial English, the tale is both an entertainment and a warning, in the tradition of early Naipaul, Graham Greene, and Joseph Heller.áâÇòJulian Anderson
