Description

Thirteen stories that probe the lives of ordinary and working-class Thailand, Arid Dreams offers a nuanced exploration of class, gender, and disenchantment in a changing country. Characters navigate their routines, waiting for an extraordinary event to disrupt their stasis. Through witty and insightful prose, this collection reveals the complexities of life in modern Thailand, where aspirations often remain suspended. A politician's wife contemplates an alternate reality, a man on death row seeks to clear up misunderstandings, and an elevator attendant feels trapped by his immobile existence. With subtle critique and revelatory insight, Arid Dreams provides a thought-provoking portrayal of contemporary Thai society, one that is both curious and unsettling.
