À propos de l'auteur
Chart Korbjitti est l'un des romanciers thaïlandais les plus surprenants de sa génération, et parmi les plus influents, ayant ancré depuis les années 1980 le roman thaï dans la modernité grâce à des mises en situation « existentielles » de gens ordinaires, des thèmes universels. Il a publié une demi-douzaine de romans dont deux ont reçu le SEA Write Award : Sonne l'heure (2002) et La Chute de Fak (2003).
