Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- ch. 1. Visions of possibilities : religion and/as "hospitality" in Lloyd Fernando's novels -- ch. 2. Irony and the sacred in Lee Kok Liang's fiction -- ch. 3. Hinduism and the ways of the divine : the works of K.S. Maniam -- ch. 4. Contentious faiths : questioning Confucianism and Christianity in the fiction of Shirley Lim -- ch. 5. Islam and modernity incontemporary Anglophone fiction by Malay writers -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.

Four main objectives underpin this study: to introduce Anglophone Malaysian literature to a wider, international readership; to identify the varied dimensions of religion and religiosity in Malaysian fiction inEnglish, and what they reveal about identity and nationhood; to demonstrate the manner in which these narratives provide crucial insights into the "cultural memory" of a people, rather than as documents about "the nation"; and to reveal the intersections between religion and other facets of identity such as class, gender and sexuality. The book is aimed at postgraduate students and researchers interested in Malaysian literature and religion. Those interested in the intersectionsbetween (post)modernity and religion in the Southeast Asian region will also find this book useful.Also, students and researchers interested in the configurations of women and postcoloniality from areligious perspective mayalso find this book insightful.
