Talk Thai

The Adventures of Buddhist Boy

Beschreibung

When Ira Sukrungruang was born to Thai parents newly arrived in the US, they picked his Jewish moniker out of a book of "American” names. In this lively, entertaining, and often hilarious memoir, he relates the early life of a first-generation Thai-American and his constant, often bumbling attempts to reconcile cultural and familial expectations with the trials of growing up in 1980s America.
