FARISH NOORS WHAT YOUR TEACHER DIDN'T TELL YOU: The Annexe Lectures Vol.1
Book Launch
Sat 5 Dec, 8pm
Presented by Matahari Books
Admission Free
Matahari Books is proud to launch Farish A. Noors latest book WHAT YOUR TEACHER DIDN'T TELL YOU: The Annexe Lectures, Vol.1. The book is especially significant for us as it collects the texts of Farishs free public lectures at The Annexe Gallery. Hurray!
Farish A. Noor might just be Malaysia's hippest intellectual. His gifts are on full display in these expanded versions of public lectures that he delivered at The Annexe Gallery, Central Market Kuala Lumpur in 2008 and 2009.
Find out how racial difference became such a big deal in Malaysia, and contrast this against the way our distant ancestors lived. Discover the hidden stories of the keris, Hang Tuah and PAS. There's also quite a bit of sex. Erudite, impassioned and sometimes just plain naughty, WHAT YOUR TEACHER DIDN'T TELL YOU is a stimulating plunge into aspects of our past that have been kept from us.
The 288-page book also contains dozens of sepia-toned photographs, many from Farish's own collection of antiques. There's even a bonus chapter! And it's printed on thick (128 gsm) fully recycled paper. Retail price: RM40 (RM5 off at the launch).
