Description
Book SynopsisThis beautifully illustrated graphic novel tells the history of contemporary Thailand through the life of a blind man who walks on the streets of the capital for the last time.
Trade Review"The artwork is at least as important as text. Sara Fabbri’s colored line drawings give the tale an urgency that words themselves cannot convey." -- Peter Gordon *
Asian Review of Books *
"Shades of hope and humor glimmer amid the forces of inequity and impunity depicted in this memorable book that homes in on the rich lives of ordinary people, those who the country's rulers are meant to serve." -- David Hopkins *
Nikkei Asia *
"This book is a triumph." -- Chris Baker *
Bangkok Post *
“Well informed and captivating. Much more than a didactic good-versus-evil tale, The King of Bangkok does justice to the complex people who animate a country that many of us would do well to know better.” -- Rosalie Metro, University of Missouri-Columbia *
