Dubook Press

Mutalib Uthman’s DuBook Press opened up a brick-and-mortar storefront in Bangi last year, a space peddling not just the press’s books, but also stocking titles by comrade-in-arms local independent publishers such as Buku Fixi, Merpati Jingga and Rabak-Lit. What to expect: slim, gritty non-fiction Malay volumes by mostly first-time authors peppered with provocative content, bahasa pasar and a sprinkling of profanities – the lingo of the youth.
