Snakes: A Thai novel


Monks, murder, money, miracles and mystifications.  Snakes galore and sleazy slitherings  intertwined with scandal, suicide and rape  in the central Thai village of Khoak Phranang  – the first of a celebrated quartet of novels [see The Medium, Khoak Phranang and Lord of the Landunder the ThaiFiction imprint]. Central to the story are Yeesun,  murderer, boxer, snake catcher and a good man  – and Abbot Nian (Father Smoothy),  who beheads Buddha statues
