Surreal and puncturing short stories from the Thai master of the form.In a pink-walled motel, a teenage prostitute brings a grown man to tears. A love-struck young boy holds the dismembered hand of his crush, only to find himself the object of a complex menage a trois. A naked body falls from the window of a twenty-story building, while two female office-workers offer each other consolation in the elevator...In these wry and unsettling stories, Prabda Yoon once again illuminates something of the strangeness of modern cultural life in Bangkok. Disarming the reader with surprising charm, intensity and delicious horror, he explores what it means to have a body, and to interact with those of others.Supported by English PEN Translates.
