The Malayan Trilogy

'Time For A Tiger', 'The Enemy In The Blanket', and 'Beds In The East'

This famous trilogy dissects with brilliant wit the racial and social prejudices of post-war Malaya during the chaotic upheaval of Independence.

Anthony Burgess, an officer in the Colonial Service, lays bare the various prejudices of Malayan society in the post-Colonial era. With penetrating insight and through a succession of wonderfully colour characters arising from the enforce mingling of cultures.
