Reviews

"Thailand's only wholly home-grown literary classic is, in Western terms, a dozen Shakespeare plays rolled into one, with a rich vein of Arthurian romance to boot. [It] entails comedy, tragedy, love, sex, war, magic, honor, infamy, gallantry, and treachery. And that, as untold millions of Thais have seen in the course of nearly four centuries, is entertainment." The Nation
