SIGHTSEEING by Rattawut Lapcharoensap

FIC
LAPCHAROENSAP

A collection of stories by a young Thai-American depicts Thai culture hovering between the ancient and modern. The stories focus on family relations, romance, and cultural changes.
Many of the stories involve young men and their single mothers who encourage them to find their own way in the world.

Lapcharoensap's characters are engaging and his tales, though of a different culture, reveal universal themes.
