Potential Images: Ambiguity and Indeterminacy in Modern Art (Topographics) by Dario Gamboni |
by Barry Bell

|
Bangkok, by American author William Warren, describes how the charms of the city and its people outweigh the disadvantages of pollution, traffic, and stifling heat. It also portrays celebrities like the early kings of Thailands present dynasty and Anna Leonowens, heroine of "The King and I," as well as Jim Thompson, the U.S.-born silk entrepreneur and art collector who mysteriously vanished in the jungles of Malaysia. Bangkok provides a much needed history of the city, but is also imbued with the warmth of Warrens love affair with its frenetic way of life.
William Warren was born in the southern U.S. He has lived in Bangkok since 1959, and has written many books on Thailand, from gardens to Thai arts, crafts, and cuisine, and a biography of Jim Thompson.
American born William Warren is a former lecturer in English at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. He is the author of numerous books and articles on Bangkok and the culture of Thailand.
