Claudio Sopranzetti’s King of Bangkok shortlisted for the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing

Claudio Sopranzetti’s King of Bangkok shortlisted for the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing.

The selection committed wrote that they praise the book for "inaugurating nothing less than a new mode of ethnographically inhabiting history. We were simply floored by the attention to local detail in every piece of art and every speech bubble. We have no doubt that this is a project that will be emulated for years to come".
