Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This volume brings together Siburapha's most highly acclaimed novel, with three short stories highlighting the plight of the underclass: "Those Kind of People," "Lend Us a Hand," and "The Awakening." "Behind thePainting" is the story of a Thai student studying in Japan who becomes infatuated with an older Thai woman. The novel reflects post-war Thai society in the vanity of the aristocracy and the pragmatism of the new elite; in the social more of concealing one's true feelings; and in the restricted existence of unmarried women and the resulting pressure to marry, whatever the circumstance. Paralleling these Thai cultural themes are the universal themes of the fear of ageing and the vagaries of love.

This is the story of a Thai student studying in Japan who becomes infatuated with an older Thai woman.
