I have followed David from another group and think I'd like to join in. I'm Thai but I have to confess that I rarely read Thai fiction. Well, I read some sort of romance from time to time but mostly I read non-fiction like prose or travel.
I think there 's a few Thai books translated but not sure what their names in English. I'll find out later if anyone interested.
As for my reading, I read some of Japanese books especially of Miyabe Miyuki's. She's my favorite.
I also like Amy Tan, not sure if it's Asian lit. She lives in US, right?
Anyway, nice to meet you and hope we can talk more about Asian lit :-)
Hello pilarcat, I'm also Thai but my first language is English. So far all the characters I've written are Caucasian, Japanese and Chinese no Thai/Siamese yet. One day I'll pen a story set in 19th century Siam (^_^).
Hi Silapa. It's nice that you have your own work published :-) It's interesting that you also focus on Historical fiction, must have done a lot of research!
