Despite my frantic public speaking, I have done a few presentations that are decent. This one here is a reading at the American Literary Translation Association conference of Jarupat Petcharawet’s “The Death of Nang Huang,” an Isan horror story that goes back to the history of war and displacement across the Mekong river.
This one here retells my encounter and fascination with the Bible in Isan translation.
This one here introduces the listener to a hilarious period romance chat novel, set in an improbable Isan town with a cast of K-Pop idols, that may be able to teach us how to live in a land of cruel polygyny and palace intrigue.
