Prabda Yoon

The Sad Part Was

Herausgeber: Smith, Deborah / Übersetzer: Poopoksakul, Mui

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

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.
