Letters from Thailand Botan, Susan Fulop Kepner (Translator) When the original Thai version of Letters from Thailand appeared in Bangkok in 1969, it was promptly awarded the SEATO Prize for Thai Literature. This new English translation reveals it as one of Thailand's most entertaining and enduring modern novels, and one of the few portrayals of the immigrant Chinese experience in urban Thailand. Letters from Thailand is the story of Tan Suang U, a young man who leaves China to make his fortune in Thailand at the close of World War II, and ends up marrying, raising a family, and operating a successful business. The novel unfolds through his letters to his beloved mother in China. Botan (pseudonym for Supa Sirising) is a native of Bangkok, born of Chinese parents. She has published more than ten novels. Susan Fulop Kepner has been translating Thai literature for more than 30 years.
