Bangkok Wakes to Rain by Pitchaya Sudbanthad

5.0

I came into this book not knowing what to expect at all. I came out with a story full of love, loneliness, rhythm, and motion. Sudbanthad writes in such a creative and clever way, pushing forward themes of cyclical nature, history, alienation, and climate anxiety. It's a genre-defying novel in the same way it defies linear, chronological construction. I loved it and will definitely reread it in the future, for I am sure there were links and nuances I must have missed.
