Veeraporn Nitiprapha's bestselling novels weave local history and family saga into a heady, distinctly Thai, contemporary folklore. In this special conversation, the two-time SEA Write Award winner is joined by Kong Rithdee, the accomplished translator of both her novels. We speak to the acclaimed author-translator pair about the interplay of history and personal memory, and explore the influence of politics and Thai soap operas on Veeraporn's literary imagination.
