UEA Live: Tash Aw – The Enterprise Centre, UEA

UEA graduate Tash Aw is the winner of the Whitbread, Commonwealth Prize and O. Henry Award. His work has thrice been longlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

His latest novel The South is a radiant tale about family, desire, what we inherit, and the longing that blooms between two boys over the course of one summer. A story of what happens when private and public lives collide; a masterful portrait of a family navigating a period of great change – a reimagined epic for our times.

In 2003, Aw graduated from UEA with an MA in Creative Writing (Prose Fiction), whilst also completing his debut novel The Harmony Silk Factory.

Aw will be in conversation with Yan Ge, winner of the prestigious Mao Dun Literature Prize and was named by People’s Literature magazine as one of 20 future literature masters in China. She also studied Creative Writing at UEA, and was the recipient of the UEA International Award 2018/19.

The event will be followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
