OldAsiaHand Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 Just heard a revue and interview on the ABC.Short stories about BKK by a young Thai.(26) Sightseeing - by Rattawut Lapcharoensap ISBN: 0802117880 A$37 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I read about a third of it, but couldn't manage anymore. It's a bunch of high school or maybe at best college level short stories. If they had been written by a white guy, they never would have been published, but the usual western media fawning over a 'native' writer, which I have always thought rather patronizing, has now cranked into high gear and made a big deal out of some adolescent rubbish just because it was (supposedly) written by a young Thai. It is hardly surprising to hear that the ABC is leading the pack. So what else is new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
