Siburapha

SIBURAPHA (pseud. Kulap Saipradit, 1905–1974) has enjoyed a chequered reputation in the Thai literary world. A popular and accomplished writer of romantic novels in the late 1920s, his later work tackled themes of social injustice and inequality. Imprisoned from 1952 to 1957, Siburapha subsequently sought asylum in China, where he remained for the rest of his life.
