John Ralston Saul wants to make one thing very clear. I don’t like being lumped into that genre, Saul says. Hard-hitting, disconcerting, feverish and painful, The Paradise Eater takes John Field, an expat in Bangkok for more than two decades, through his last days there, pursued by killers for what he might know, determined to save two girls (one his daughter, the other a kind of slave he has bought) from the horrors which await them.

Paradise Eater: The Field Trilogy. Book in the Field Trilogy Series). by John Ralston Saul. Having spent years living in Bangkok, with acquaintances who have been tortured in Laotian jails (yes really!), for me this book captures something of the dark underbelly of the region - displaying a depth of understanding which escapes many who visit briefly - those who stay long enough usually can't write so it remains undocumented.
