Description
A presentation of some of the major writings published in Thailand during the 1960s and 1970s, Modern Thai Literature is the first systematic attempt to use the contemporary literature of a complex, non-Western society to explore its cultural premises, indigenous meanings, and intellectual styles. Besides Phillips' ethnographic analysis, a large portion of the book is devoted to the writings themselves-essays, short stories, an excerpt from a novel, poems, a short play, and song lyrics. - from Amzon
