Beskrivning
After living in the United States for over a decade, Kenneth Wong returns to his native Burma - a country fraught with political upheaval and laden with superstition - to face the cultural specters of his own past and the spirit of a land trapped in time. In the tradition of Orwell, Maugham and Theroux, Wong shows Burma as an exotic place that invites, frightens, teases and haunts citizens and visitors alike with its unique mixture of ill-kept Edwardian structures, pockmarked English mansions, and glittering Buddhist temples.

Mer om författaren
Kenneth Wong was born and raised in Rangoon, Burma, where he cultivated an addiction to aromatic Indian tea and an aversion to totalitarianism. He came to America at the age of twenty-one, not long after the 1988 massacre. After an unfulfilling decade in the financial industry, he decided to jump off his career path and begin making a living as a writer. He currently works as an editor for Cadence, a trade magazine dedicated to computer-aided design. Kenneth lives in San Francisco, California, surrounded by eccentric friends and boxes of books.
