Book Overview
Kepner's selection shows the many ways fiction has mirrored the lives of Thai women over the twentieth century. The spectrum is broad, encompassing the young and the old, the rural and the cosmopolitan, the privileged and the poor. Some writers address previously unacceptable themes: female sexuality, spousal abuse, gender oppression. Others display a scintillating sense of humor. They touch on many themes--injustice, the heartlessness of society, loneliness, the difficult choices that life presents. Susan Kepner's lyrical, faithful translations preserve the tenor and resonances of these voices, many of which will be heard for the first time by English-speaking readers.

A must read for those interested in Thai literature!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Susan Kepner has put together a beautiful collection of stories written by Thai female writers. The book touches on many facets of life for Thai women. Some are brutally honest and some incredibly humorous. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in women's studies in Southeast Asia, and specifically Thailand.
