about the author
What critics have said about the author “Moore’s
a real writer and one to watch.” “Moore’s
noir thrillers and literary fiction—like Graham Greene, he alternates
between ‘entertainment’ and serious novels—are subtle
and compelling evocations “One
of Moore’s greatest strengths . . . is his knowledge of Southeast
Asian history.” “Christopher
G. Moore is one of the world’s most popular and bestselling writers” “The
Hemingway of Bangkok.” “The
most important recreator of Thailand for a Western audience.” “Moore’s
work doesn’t flinch from cultural detail or complex social analysis. “Moore
is a marvelous and inventive writer who is able to combine literary merit “Moore
might be described as W. Somerset Maugham with a bit of Elmore Leonard “If
you read only one expat writer for a flavour of Southeast Asia, read Christopher
G. Moore.” “Moore
captures the bewitching spirit and rice-cooker passions of Southeast Asia.” “Moore
is a rare writer who is able to meticulously dramatize the complex wiring
of the human condition and simultaneously reveal the geopolitical undercurrents
while maintaining a skillful control of his stories. Moore is a true connoisseur
of Southeast Asia, a man of experience beyond the narrow bounds of culture.” “To
paraphrase Graham Greene in another context, Moore is our man in Bangkok.” “Acclaimed
as one of the best contemporary foreign writers in Thailand. ” “Not
only is Bangkok-based author Christopher Moore one of the most prolific
novelists in town, he’s also one of most read.” “What
is outstanding in the works of Christopher G. Moore is his in depth comprehension
of what psychiatrist Carl Jung labeled the collective unconscious, as
it applies to Thai motivation, thinking and action. Moore understands
the Thais better than many understand themselves.” “Relishing
another Christopher G. Moore novel is like receiving essential nutrients
for a healthier, safer life in Thailand. Insights into the human condition
…reveal us to ourselves painfully clearly but as balanced as a sweet
and sour Thai dish.” >>to
