«Camas orientales» is the novel by Anthony Burgess, third instalment of the Malayan Trilogy, published by Alfaguara Bolsillo in paperback (290 pages, in Spanish).
Set in colonial Malaya, the novel follows characters torn between the weight of tradition and the changes of a society heading towards independence. Burgess combines black humour and satire to examine racial and social tensions, and the contradictions of the encounter between cultures in a world falling apart.

For readers of contemporary literature and novels that address colonialism and identity with irony.
John Anthony Burgess Wilson was an English writer and composer.
