Praise
“Aside
from writing some very good crime novels, Christopher G. Moore
shows some real insight into interpersonal relationships,
power, family, loyalty and, strangely, the disciplined schedule
of a masturbating monkey. It's astounding that this is one
of his very early works. He only gets better over time.”
—Dharma Bum (Amazon reviewer)
“Moore
has written a wonderful time capsule of this roller coaster,
crash and burn period [of 1997 economic crisis in Thailand].
If [you] want to know what goes on behind those high walls
in those expensive Bangkok neighborhoods while getting
a good thriller of a ride then read GOD OF DARKNESS.”
—Kevin Cummings, Chiang
Mai City News
“The
stories of other writers—locals and expats—maybe likened to
sketches or drawings, while those of Christopher G. Moore
are paintings or murals.”
—Bangkok Post

Calvino investigates the death of a friend, a Canadian painter. The medical examiner finds the young man has ingested an exit drug, and the police verdict of suicide seems justified. But in Bangkok appearances have a habit of deceiving. Sometimes jumpers are given a leg up in their leap to the next life. Fingering the helper can be a risky business, and for Calvino this promises to be one of those times. More>>
 The
Age of Dis-Consent
In
the follow up to The Cultural Detective, Faking
It in Bangkok, and Fear and Loathing in Bangkok,
Moore pays caring and critical homage to his residence of
choice by diagnosing some of Thailand’s discontents
and offering subtle remedies for readers to tease out.
The
essays range from political conflict to violence and criminal
investigations in the digital age, to cultural upheavals,
cognitive science and writing, including essays about Orwell,
Kafka, and Henry Miller. More>> |
