Description

Winner, English PEN Translates Award

Winner, Southeast Asian Write Award.

Selected as a 'Book to Look Out For in 2017' by the Guardian and BuzzFeed.

In these witty, postmodern stories, Yoon riffs on pop culture, experiments with punctuation, flirts with sci-fi and, in a metafictional twist, mocks his own position as omnipotent author. Highly literary, his narratives offer an oblique reflection of contemporary Bangkok life, exploring the bewildering disjunct and oft-hilarious contradictions of a modernity that is at odds with many traditional Thai ideas on relationships, family, school and work.
