About “Time for a Tiger”
Anthony Burgess's 1956 novel is his debut and the first in his Malayan Trilogy. The story is a comic portrayal of British expatriates in pre-independence Malaya, informed by the author's experiences as a teacher in the British Colonial Service. The title's reference to a tiger is a nod to a popular brand of beer. The novel offers an authentic depiction of life in Malaya during this period.
