31 Dec New Year

The bookshop will be closed today (Thursday) for New Year and back open again as normal on Friday. These are sombre and sobering times for Malaysia – with the memories of tragedies and the flooding catastrophe still very much present. We are also beset with a politics of extraordinary vitriol and incompetence. But as Arundhati Roy reminds us: “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing”. On behalf of the whole Gerakbudaya Bookshop team – Fong Ling, Jaime, Liani, Roy and Gareth – we wish you a good 2015, and a better, more just world.
