Summary: Tew Bunnag's tales from Bangkok are set in the hardslums and luxurious mansions of the city and cover the lives of people in different social strata. Told with familiarity and irony these snapshots are a crisp commentary on the fragility of contemporary Thai society. Tew Bunnag's Fragile Days reflects the fragmentation of Thai society today in a world where rapid industrialization has resulted in materialism and moral confusion, and where traditional values hang in a delicate balance. Tew Bunnag writes about contradictions between contemporary and traditional life in Thailand. His published works of fiction include "Fragile Days", "After the Wave" and "The Naga's journey". The novel "Curtain of Rain" is in progress. Since 2000 he has been working for the Human Development Foundation in the slums of Bangkok. Fragile Days - Tales from Bangkok includes 10 stories often ironic but always sympathetic.
