Southeast Asian Classics
Influential literature from across Southeast Asia: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam.
Often overshadowed by East Asian lit, these works are rich and diverse in theme, style, philosophical and religious influence, folklore and indigenous wisdom.
Iβve tried to include at least one historical work (mid-20th century and earlier) and one modern classic from each country. Works listed by country in the comments!
Recs welcome as always :)
