?Writing is easy, you just have to be prepared to live with a permanent identity crisis,? says British crime-writer John Burdett, whose credits include ?Bangkok 8,? ?Bangkok Tattoo? and ?Bangkok Haunts.?
?A lot of expat writing on Thailand -- fiction and non-fiction -- is all about Western, especially male, self-indulgence,? he adds. ?The sub-text is usually the writer?s failure to empathize outside of his own culture -- or ego -- resulting in a more or less total misunderstanding of everything he sees.?
