Bounthanong Somsaiphon

Bounthanong Somsaiphon was born in 1953 in Champassak province, in southern Laos. After moving to Vientiane, he worked as a press and radio journalist, and published popular novels under various pseudonyms before 1975. Since the mid-seventies he has been writing short stories, poems and songs, and he is a driving force of the capital's literary life as an editor as much as an author. Surveys of his country's literature regard him as one of the most candid on what the regime has changed in society. In 2011 he received the Southeast Asian Writers Award.
