About this book
Burgess’s debut novel, this is also the first book in his acclaimed Malayan Trilogy. Drawing on his experiences in Malaya as a teacher in the British Colonial Service the author gives a sense of real authenticity to his comic story of British ex-pats in pre-independence Malaya. The tiger of the title refers to a popular brand of beer.
