Sunisa Manning will discuss her recent novel A Good True Thai (Epigram, 2020), which tells the story of three young people who come of age in Thailand in the 1970s, a time of turbulent change and radical politics.

Her presentation will provide background to the events she covers in her novel, how she researched the period, and how art can contribute to understanding political uncertainties.
