Product Description
Product Description
"...the J.D. Salinger of Siam"
--George Axelrod, Oscar-winning screenwriter of Breakfast at Tiffany's
--George Axelrod, Oscar-winning screenwriter of Breakfast at Tiffany's
"S. P. Somtow doesn't write like anybody else...and when he wants to spook you, he can drive the chill bone deep."
--Dean Koontz
In an exotic re-telling of the fairytale of Bluebeard, a New Age thirty-something is swept off her feet by an enigmatic Thai millionaire and soon finds herself in Bangkok's brave new world of shamans, shopping malls, and high society serial killers.
Originally written as a cliff-hanging serial for Bangkok's The Nation newspaper, Bluebeard's Castle is a roller-coaster novel that leapfrogs from genre to genre and culture to culture, turning the western preconception of Bangkok as a "city of temples and prostitutes" on its ear. A darkly comic odyssey populated with wild characters, with intimate glimpses into a culture rarely written about.

How to make Blue Beard boring.
6 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a first-
From an author I admire, a disappointment.
Set in the most exciting city in the world,
a main character that you would rather strangle than talk to, nobody believable,
and a style that (sometimes) works in a 30 second advertisement.
Avoid (unless you are a sucker for American junk writing, and have a short attention span.)
