I’ve been carting around this novel since randomly plucking it from the shelves last December, found at a used book shop in Hobart, Tasmania. The story by Khammaan Khonkhai is set in Thailand, and for me, the draw was its setting in a culture I knew little about. Piya, a newly trained teacher from the […]
so…. @jimgroom @timmmmyboy a gentle reminder, in case you need design help with this is.gd/7kCbd5 #ds106 #pleeeez — Lisa M.
