SEA Write shortlist

       The Thai SEA Write shortlist has been announced, and in the Bangkok Post they report that SEA Write's never wrong, offering brief descriptions of the books in the running.
       Not that I'm quite sure what to make of summaries such as (re. Vipas Srithong's คนแคระ):

Three friends convert an old shop into a prison cell in which they plan to lock up someone, or perhaps it is for something.

       In any case, I hope there's at least some foreign interest -- almost nothing gets translated from Thai into English.
