Genre(s): Short Stories

Location

Content

Characters whose tales are told in William Peskett’s fourth collection of short stories include a bank teller who suspects murder, an old man who loses his shorts, a butcher reminiscing with his biggest customer and a ladyboy searching for love. Throw in the diary of one of the last two people on Earth, a market-stall tableau and a vision of eternity to appreciate the variety of perspectives that this collection contains.

Like the author, the stories in this book are based in Thailand and reflect the richness of life and the unusual outlook of the many different people who inhabit this colourful part of the world.

Thai life oozed for the pages. Sometimes quirky, never run of the mill, these stories transport the reader to Thailand.
