Description

Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2006. A renowned American novelist once wrote that one 'can never go home again', but as the author demonstrates in this delightful and subtle account, such is not the case--we can and should cherish our past and, from time to time, we must reaffirm our roots. O'Hara's homecoming to Burma, as he gives us glimpses into a youth that was punctuated by hardship and loss, reveals a character determined to succeed, even at the expense of abandoning his country of birth. In parallel it points to some of the causes of that nation's failure to realize its great potential. The author, Randolph O'Hara, MBE, is a retired civil servant residing in Hong Kong. During his career he played a pivotal role in the development of local cultural facilities in the former British colonial administration. 73 pp, 10 b&w illustrations. . First Edition. Soft Cover. New. 20 x 13 cm..
