pickThe author was a journalist and it shows in his writing. He is clear and factual in his analysis of Southeast Asian politics and society. It also shows that his heart is breaking for this region that has been his life‘s work, first as a journalist and then as a mediator. Overall, a very depressing pick. Also, it should be noted that this book was published in 2017, so obviously some things have changed.
pickMy fiction pick for #foodandlit 🇹🇭 this month...there is a common parent-child relationship theme in all of them. They offer a sad look at some of Thailand's most prominent social issues, well-written and touching.
I would have preferred a more balanced view, it's important not to gloss over things, but I'm sure there are happy stories worth telling, too.

pickEngaging, interesting, effective short stories and one novella, set in a Thailand beyond the tourist track. I read these slowly, a story here and there, for #FoodandLit #Thailand and loved them. The title story was my favourite, and I will be thinking about it for quite a while.
