“Karmic Ties’ universal themes of loss of innocence, greed and corruption, man’s inhumanity to man – and their inevitable karmic consequences – have rarely been as vividly expressed as they are in this raw new novel, which functions on a multiple of psychological, societal, and spiritual levels. The world should pay attention to this one. You will never forget it.”
Jonathon Ray Spinney
Author of “The Awakening of Red Feather”
Karmic Ties A Novel of Modern Asia is set in Thailand during the rapid economic growth years of the booming 1980’s and 90’s, an era that saw the sleepy, romantic kingdom of the “Land of Smiles” transform itself into a voracious “Asian Tiger.” It is the story of Pompam, a handsome young “Buffalo Boy” from Isan, the impoverished, culturally-rich Northeast the regional home of the “Original Thais.” The oldest of eight sons of poor rice farmer parents who have too many mouths to feed, Pompam is given to the village temple to be raised by its Buddhist monks. Miraculously, he overcomes all obstacles and rises to achieve the pinnacle of worldly success in his rapidly-changing society, but in the process he sacrifices everything – including his own body.
Karmic Ties is a graphic fictionalized account of the roots of Thailand’s corrupt socio-political system, which has polarized the rich against the poor, and in 2014 is hurtling the country towards civil war. Karmic Ties spotlights Bangkok’s infamous sex industry, into which young girls and boys are routinely lured by the promised dreams of security and material rewards, only to find disillusionment and heartbreak.
Karmic Ties will take you into the heart of unique Thailand in its moment of transition from the “old” to the “new.” It will move you, entertain you, and shock you at the same time.
