In the first of two episodes, we're celebrating and exploring our country and our national identity, through the lens of books and literature. We speak to five Malaysians and ask them: What is a Malaysian book you would recommend, and why? What was your experience reading this book? And what does this book represent in terms of the idea of "Malaysian literature"? Their picks span poetry, graphic novels and more!
