20 reviewsTash Aw’s kaleidoscopic novel is about the overlapping lives of five ambitious newcomers to China’s most dynamic city. Five Star Billionaire charts the overlapping lives of migrant Malaysian workers, forging lives for themselves in sprawling Shanghai.
Welcome to Shanghai. A restless metropolis, where old traditions collide with new ambitions. A place where anything can happen and anybody can become a ‘somebody’. Gold-digger, property magnate, pop star, entrepreneur, guru: five newcomers are lured by the promise of making fortunes and remaking identities. But then they find their lives converging in unpredictable ways…
"Aw is a master storyteller and Five Star Billionaire can be read as The Way We Live Now for our times... [It is a story] of lives lost and found, of the transience of material success and the courage required to hope and to trust again, to forgive oneself and to believe in the possibility of love." - The Guardian (UK)
Tash Aw was unsatisfied with how south-east Asia was portrayed in Western literature so he set out to show its complexities. Aw attended the University of East Anglia’s celebrated creative writing school and subsidised his nascent career by working as an auction-house porter, a paralegal in a law firm and a Chinese language tutor. This is his second Booker prize nomination having received one for The Harmony Silk Factory in 2005.
