Fiction set in Southeast Asia has become an important part of the global literary offering. Bookstores have been successfully selling novels set in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore for many years now. But what about fiction set in Laos? Is Laos a good setting for the modern novel?Bangkok based, Canadian author, Bjorn Turmann will discuss, at Monument Books, his latest novel,
The Karaoke World of Cortous Haire, a story where Laos not only plays an important setting, but also an ‘important character’. He will share his insights and experiences into writing the novel, having it published and marketing it around the globe. An experience which will hopefully inspire the “inner author” in all of us and set us on our way to writing our own “Lao based novel”.
