The Garden of Evening Mists film review: Malaysian historical drama starring Hiroshi Abe, Angelica Lee Sinje

Three decades of Malaysian history are parsed in this lavish adaptation of a prize-winning novel about a woman – played by Lee and Sylvia Chang Ai-chia – who struggles to preserve the memory of her sister. Hiroshi Abe co-stars.


Man Asian Literary Prize puts Asian writers in the world spotlight

Professor David Parker, chair of the Man Asian Literary Prize's board of directors, says its mission is to bring the best of Asian literature to the world, and that includes Asia.


An audience with Tan Twan Eng, winner of this year's Man Asian Literary Prize

Tan Twan Eng knows all there is to know about Japanese gardens, can tell you all about Boer war postmarks, and he's even something of an expert on tattoos. 


Tale of unlikely friendship wins Man Asian prize

Tan Twan Eng has won the prestigious Man Asian Literary Prize for The Garden of Evening Mists, a novel that takes place in the aftermath of the Japanese occupation of Malaysia.


Talking points

Asia's most prestigious literary prize is presented at a glittering ceremony in Hong Kong, as its principal sponsor prepares to bow out. Among the top contenders for the Man Asia Literary Prize are Pakistan's Musharraf Ali Farooqi, Japan's Hiromi Kawakami, Malaysia's Tan Twan Eng, Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk and Hong Kong-educated Jeet Thayil of India. 


State of suspense as sponsor bails on Man Asian

The Man Asian Literary Prize has grown in stature since it began in 2007, with some classing it as the "Asian Booker".

Funding withdrawn for Man Asian Literary Prize

Asia's top literary award received a huge blow after it was announced that its title sponsor will withdraw its funding this year. The Man Asian Literary Prize, awarded by a Hong Kong-based committee to an Asian writer, has lost the support of the Man Group and is now searching for a new sponsor. The Man Group's sponsorship not only included the prize money, but also all the organisational costs, including administration and publicity. An exact figure was not given, but organisers described it as a "high value and visibility" sponsorship.

The Man Asian Literary Prize, founded in 2007, is an annual literary award of US$ 30,000 given to the best novel by an Asian writer, either written in English or translated into English. Founded in 1783, the Man Group is the world's largest publicly traded hedge-fund manager, and also sponsors the prestigious Man Booker Prize. The Man group withdrew funding support for the Asian literary prize in 2012.
