Résumé : | Set in the district of Kaeng Khoi, Saraburi province, Thailand, The Fabulist is Uthis Haemamool’s 2015 epic novel that offers a palimpsestic account of one family’s tales and traumas in a sweeping polyphony of voices. Drawing upon local myths, folk tales and annals, their stories traverse across centuries of familiar historical markers—Buddhist myths, the Cold War era, the recent political movements in 2010s to the speculated future—to explore the violence of feudalism, paternalism, patriarchy and modernisation passed onto contemporary Thai society. But pulsing across these historical terrains are the storytellers’ desires to rewrite themselves into a history that relegated them into mere ghosts or victims of madness. In feverish torrents of accents, tones and timbres of voices, we experience the fleshliness of their once hollowed identity in their struggle to reclaim their narratives through the diverse acts of storytelling. |
