Synopsis

SIAM

A NOVEL ABOUT LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, AND THE UNDERSTANDING OF ANOTHER WORLD.

Thailand, late 1960s. As the Vietnam War casts its shadow across the country, American linguistics professor Adrian Keller sets out to uncover the structures of an unfamiliar language. But the deeper he immerses himself in Thai culture, the more his understanding of language, identity, and reality begins to unravel.

At the same time, military surgeon Daniel Mercer confronts the human cost of the war at a U.S. Air Force base. A journey to northern Thailand and his encounter with Pranee, a young surgical assistant, open the door to a world that profoundly challenges everything he has believed.

An atmospheric novel about language, love, cross-cultural encounters, and the search for identity, SIAM follows its characters from the canals of Bangkok and the rice fields of northern Thailand to the ancient city of Si Thep. Their unexpected encounters transform forever the way they see the world, and themselves.
