Pira Canning Sudham determined to complete Shadowed Country, a dedication to the memories of his parents and ten schoolteachers murdered in Esarn provinces.
Pira Canning Sudham was born to a rice-farming family in an impoverished Isan village named Napo.
People in villages of Esarn are Pira Canning Sudham’s driving force and a source of energy so that he can speak on their behalf, write about them and thus build their monuments.
Pira Canning Sudham’s writings include The Force of Karma, a sequel to Monsoon Country, People of Esarn (includes The Kingdom in Conflicts), and Tales of Thailand.
