The prolonged dusk

“Dark clouds are gathering. Yet, sunlight still pierces through a corner of the sky, creating an ambiguous moment of light and shadow coexisting on the mountains. What does such an ambiguous moment mean? All I can do is stare blankly from afar, doing nothing else. There is nothing I can do.”

Zhuo Zhenhui's debut novel. Two hundred thousand words, completed over three years.

On one side are cities, the sea, and living people; on the other are new villages, mountains, and the deceased. Dreams intertwine with reality, past merges with present. Cracks faintly appear, boundaries blur. Symbols and metaphors emerge one after another.

A groundbreaking new exploration that deviates from the traditional narrative of Malaysian Chinese literature. From the embers of history, glimpses of the faint glow and shadows—and spirits—remaining deep within the self are revealed.

"In the Malaysian Chinese literary scene, where writers are typically not prolific and the literary environment has always been barren, Zhenhui's performance, though not a miracle, is certainly brilliant." — Professor Teo Eng Tiong, in his preface
