A disillusioned revolutionist grappling with who he was and who he has become in disguise, set in one of the most turbulent times in modern Thailand history
A story told in three parts, Teacher Narit is a historical novel centering on the main protagonist, Narit, a mysterious civil war veteran who escaped the capital in the 70s to start a new life as a history teacher in northern Thailand.

Once a young, idealistic postgraduate student and activist during one of Thailand's blackest periods, The 14th October 1973 revolution, Narit embarked on a turbulent relationship that led him to battling a war of conscience, love and political allegiance; a war that ended in pain and disillusion for both him and his family-leaving him embittered, running from his past.

However, it is in northern Thailand, that a chance encounter with his first love forces him to confront his demons, and Narit is made to choose between seeking forgiveness or fleeing once more.

Pamda Bure is a BKK-based writer and illustrator. Educated in Thailand, New Zealand, Japan and Australia, she enjoys exploring many facets of cultures worldwide and drawing inspiration from them. Peripatetic and adventurous, she is never daunted and always looks for the quietly amusing, idiosyncratic side of things regardless of the situation. When not immersed in writing stories or creating illustrations, Pamda can be found pondering existential meanings. Her life goal is to become a tango gypsy (live in a horse-drawn caravan).
