In his second collection of short stories set in Malaysia, Marc de Faoite tells intimate, empathetic stories about people and communities who often go unheard. We speak to him about how his 15 years living in Malaysia inspired so much of his writing, and why he was drawn to telling stories that while empathetic, can also be difficult to take in.
