Another Bangkok: Reflections on the City

Author(s): Alex Kerr

Location(s): Bangkok

Genre(s): Travelogue, Nonfiction

Era(s): Contemporary

Alex Kerr has spent over thirty years of his life living in Bangkok. As with his bestselling books on Japan, this evocative personal meditation explores the city’s secret corners. Here is the huge, traffic-choked metropolis of concrete high-rises, slums and sky trains; but also a place of peace and grace. Looking afresh at everything from ceramics to Thai dance, flower patterns to old houses, Kerr reveals one of Asia’s most kaleidoscopically complex cities. Another Bangkok will delight both those who think they know the city well and those visiting for the first time.
