Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss a sweeping epic set in Singapore during the political upheaval of the mid twentieth century. When a fisherman is struggling to find enough fish to support his family, his young son, Ah Boon, discovers a mysterious island with hundreds of fish off its shores, ultimately leading to prosperity that draws the attention of political radicals. Windson Liong perfectly captures the many voices of the characters who come in and out of Ah Boon’s life, and Liong imbues his performance with all of Ah Boon’s complex emotions and anxieties.
