Full interview with the Sri Lanka born and Hongkong based writer Nury Vittachi about the differences between Asia and Europe, his work and his literary projects.
Writer and humorist Nury Vittachi had to leave his homeland Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) because of ethnic clashes between Tamils and Singhalese. Thanks to an international award for a book his father wrote, the family was able to leave for Singapore.
Writer and humorist Nury Vittachi grew up in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and London, and he has been living in Hong Kong for years now. All those rambles have made him a mediator between east and west.
