An Excerpt from Monsoon Country
By Pira Sudham
The story was in the shadow of its author: Pira Sudham. There
was an extraordinary flow of story maybe because of the author himself. There were
terms and words that were not initially known by people outside Thailand. The names
used were also from Thailand. The story was in the third person’s point of
view. From Kum, Piang, Kiang and Prem, the story revolved around them narrating
the life of the said characters who played a major role in the life of the main
character. Although it started weak and sentimental, it eventually come up with
a brave and courageous ending. The words were not obsolete. Instead, they were
encountered in our daily lives.
