Shadowed Country
Shadowed Country is the end result of Sudham’s Herculean labour of love, of writing and revising and expanding both Monsoon Country and its sequel, The Force of Karma.
The Force of Karma
Pira Canning Sudham’s novel The Force of Karma picks up where Monsoon Country ends in 1981, and the saga carries on to cover the tumultuous years of the economic crisis, the political upheavals and the massacre of May 1992 in Thailand.
Monsoon Country
Pira Canning Sudham depicts the problems of social transition in present-day Thailand and gives insights into Thai life in the rural northeast.
People of Esarn
Pira Canning Sudham brings into the light the lives of some of the ordinary Thai people who live in obscurity in remote villages in northeast Thailand.
Tales of Thailand
Pira Canning Sudham is the international voice of the forgotten people of the northeast of Thailand, an exploited minority speaking Lao rather than Thai.
A Voice from the Shadowed Country
Pira Canning Sudham determined to complete Shadowed Country, a dedication to the memories of his parents and ten schoolteachers murdered in Esarn provinces.
Author Profile
Pira Canning Sudham was born to a rice-farming family in an impoverished Isan village named Napo.
David of Thailand
It is a wonder that an impoverished boy from rice fields of Isan should survive the political upheavals and massacres in the struggle for democracy to be able, years later, to offer readers his literary works written originally in English.
A Timeless Writing
Pira Canning Sudham’s writing defies time, for it reflects the unsolved problem of poverty, and goes beyond time, through the universality of the passions it describes: love, hate, generosity, selfishness, honesty and hypocrisy.
