The Road to Maridur

A Small Place in the Desert

"[Christopher] New is among the best non-Asian writers currently writing in English about Asia. His reprinted and future works are worth looking out for."

Far Eastern Economic Review

Christopher New was born in England and educated at Oxford and Princeton Universities. A philosopher as well as a novelist, he was for several years Head of the Philosophy Department of Hong Kong University. After living over two decades in Asia, he now divides his time between Asia and Europe. The South China Morning Post has called his China Coast Trilogy ‘the definitive account of the British presence here in furthest Asia and a literary feat of the highest quality.’ The Road to Maridur is his fifth novel. His books have been widely translated into other languages.
