233pp, paperback, dustjacket. "This book, by a 25-year-old Thai-American writer, marks the debut of a heart-stoppingly fresh new voice in world fiction. The world described in "Sightseeing" is gorgeous and lush, painful and candid. Rattawut paints a vivid picture of a Thailand far removed from its exotic reputation. "Sightseeing" refuses to take the tourist routes or pay the farang prices at the market. In poignant, tough, heart-catching episodes, Rattawut Lapcharoensap takes his readers beneath the surface of Thailand to a place that is dynamic and corrupt, full of pride and passion and fear. "Sightseeing" reveals, slowly and powerfully, that no place is too far away from home when it comes to pain, anger, love, or hurt. It explores through confident and unforgettable storytelling what it means to be a son, a brother, a parent, a lover, a Thai - and a disenfranchised resident of the global village."
