#BookReport 29/21

A very satisfying week. Four books, completely differently, but all 4 ⭐️reads!

These collection of short stories provide a commentary on the changing values of Laotian society. The author himself is critical of the industrialization and modernization of #Laos at the cost of traditional values, which he portrays in many ways through these stories.

I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed this book a lot.

This is the first book translated to English from the country of Laos. About 10 book-length-prints see daylight every year, with an average print run of 2000 copies. Many rural areas still do not have schools. #Laos #readtheworld #readingtheworld
