Mesmerizing and unputdownable - a virtuoso translation of what must surely be one of the best Thai novels to make it into English. - Lawrence Osborne, author of Hunters in the Dark and Only to Sleep

Rich with mythical imagery, [The Blind Earthworm in the Labyrinth] plunges the reader into a contemporary Thai life strongly influenced by Western culture while steeped in timeless traditions and Buddhist thought, and roiled by decades of political dissent. ... The translator has done a masterful job of capturing the author s sumptuous prose, each sentence unfurling like a brightly dyed bolt of silk - The Washington Independent Review of Books

  • Mô tả

Tuned to the rhythms of the soap operas that air on Thai television each night, and written with the consuming intensity of a fever dream, this novel opens an insightful and truly compelling window into the Thai heart. On the day Chareeya is born, her mother discovers her father has been having an affair with a traditional Thai dancer. From that moment, Chareeya's life is fated to carry the weight of her parents' disappointment. With her sister, Chalika, she grows up in an insular world, until joined by the laconic orphan, Pran, and together they navigate the labyrinth of their own making, each trying to escape their fate.
