Drawing from tough times on a Thai trawler
this looks like could be worth finding when it comes out..
http://www.khmertimeskh.com/50108991/dr ... i-trawler/There are many horror stories about Cambodian and Burmese men being used as slave labour on Thai fishing boats, but few victims ever get the chance to tell their stories to the world.
Now one Cambodian survivor of the Thai fishing industry has written about and also illustrated his ordeal in a book that will soon be released.
“The Dead Eye and The Deep Blue Sea” was put together by Prum Vannak Anan, who spent five years meticulously drawing pencil illustrations depicting the hardships he faced on a Thai fishing trawler.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

If you have any connection to the author, Ian, the NY Times reporter/writer of this article would probably love to hear from him, or maybe write a review of his book.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 9:30 am this looks like could be worth finding when it comes out..
