Synopsis
From Bangkok’s glittering ballrooms to the temples of Laos, two friends face intrigue and corruption in a tale of self-discovery, by turns bitingly satirical, comic, and tender.
When young medical student Aran Lockwood arrives in Bangkok under sudden and painful circumstances, he doesn’t expect to become a pawn in anyone’s game – but the city has other plans.
Drawn into a world of high-society intrigue, corruption, and treachery, Aran soon finds himself in deep water. At his side is Tay Sakdisan – brilliant, impulsive, and at odds with the elite he was born into. Together they stumble through a minefield of secrets, scandals, and misfired schemes, tested in ways neither could have foreseen.
Their journey carries them beyond Bangkok: to the refugee camps on Thailand’s northern border, where commitment is tested in the face of suffering and exile; and later deep into Laos, in a quest for identity and self-affirmation.
Calling Back the Wandering Souls is a story of gay love and loyalty – both tender and defiant. By turns funny and moving, satirical and profoundly poetic, it captures the glitter, grit, and grace of contemporary Bangkok while carrying the reader across borders and back, into new moral and emotional landscapes.
