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?

Maybe I could find a Thai publisher in London willing to print my "Tourist Guide to London".... written in Thai of course.
