The House of Doors
The House of Doors is a 2023 historical novel by Tan Twan Eng, published by Bloomsbury Publishing. Set in the 1920s British colony of the Federated Malay States, the novel tells the stories of the local residents and visitors, including fictionalized depictions of writer William Somerset Maugham and Chinese revolutionary leader Sun Yat-sen. It reimagines how Maugham obtained source material for his 1926 short story "The Letter", which he converted the next year into a play that was later adapted many times for film and television. The House of Doors was longlisted for the 2023 Booker Prize and listed among notable fiction works in 2023 by The Washington Post and The Financial Times.
