Introducing A Very Malaysian Book! (No Spoilers) | The Sum of Our Follies by Shih-Li Kow | book talk Sluggish Reader 2020-07-08 | The Sum of Our Follies is a 2014 book by Shih-Li Kow and it details the various random things that happen in a fictional Malaysian small town called Lubok Sayong. The snippets of the events may feel disjointed, but I personally feel that they form a coherent narrative that characterize the atmosphere of a seemingly sleepy small Malaysian town in the middle of nowhere.Find me here!🦂 Instagram: instagram.com/freddie.reads.slowly🦂 Goodreads: goodreads.com/user/show/67568538-freddie
