BOOK REVIEW: One Sky, Many Horizons: Studies in Malaysian Literature in English

Few have done more in promoting Malaysian literature in English in recent years than Mohammad Quayum, whose contributions extend beyond scholarly articles, to actively initiating and editing a number of essay collections, including the influential Malaysian Literature in English: A Critical Reader (2001). He has also compiled anthologies of Malaysian writings in English, not only for academic purposes but also for posterity by making accessible many out-of-print works or those with limited publications. One cannot overstate Quayum s importance to the field, and hence this book by him is a much welcomed addition to existing scholarship.
