Posted The Story of Jan Darra Utsana Phleungtham Translated by Phongdeit Jiangphattanarkit English Translation of Thai Modern Fiction, now Thailand's most talked about film! The erotic Jan Darra. Sex, guilt and retribution. Apparently inspired by the goings-on at a neighbouring palace during the author's childhood, the 1965 Story of Jan Darra is set in the expansive residence of a retired nobleman whose carnal excesses set the tone for the whole community. The story focuses on the sexual rivalry between His Lordship and his despised son, Jan Darra. Pramoon Un-hathoop (1920-1988), alias "Utsana Phleungtham" was a noted journalist, short-story writer, and translator. The Story of Jan Darra - written when he was 44, a married man and father of three - is his only finished novel. A heavy drinker, Pramoon was plagued by stomach ulcers from his mid-thirties and spent the last twenty years of his life in and out of hospital. The first of eight children of a low-level civil servant in Bangkok, he was a voracious reader from an early age and started to learn English almost as soon as he could read and write Thai. Although he never completed his secondary education, he is considered a master stylist, unsurpassed in his "fire in ice" approach to the language. Click the above link/image for details of this book.
