註釋Writing under the pseudonym Samruan Singh, the Thai author Surasinghsamruan Shimbhanao (19949-1996) wrote the stories in this collection during the mid-1970s, a decade of dramatic social and political change in Thailand. An activist dedicated to improving the lives of the disadvantaged, he wrote these stories to convey the agony of the Thai countryside under the pressure of accelerated social and economic change. They are thus vignettes from the daily lives of ordinary villagers. Read as a collection, they offer stark testimony about a troubled period in Thai histroy.
