"Sayarer is a precise and passionate writer . . . The vast energy
of his commitment to discover, observe and communicate makes for
engrossing, often incandescent prose. We need writers who will go
all the way for a story, and tell it with fire. Sayarer is a
marvellous example" HORATIO CLARE On the small island of Surin,
near the naval border of Thailand and Myanmar, an indigenous people
known as Moken 'sea gypsies' struggle to maintain the same timeless
existence as their ancestors. As real estate developers, oil
exploration and industrial tourism reshape the waters they call
home, Sayarer receives a mysterious offer from an idealistic
Luxembourger determined to tell a tale of the Moken on film, and in
search of a writer to detail the efforts of his motley crew. Events
unfold in a reality strangely different to that version captured by
the lens. In the quest for indigenous wisdom, cameras and tripods
clutter bamboo huts, while fishing trips and dives are staged
beneath the waves. With the quest for paradise seeming ever more
artificial, award-winning author, Julian Sayarer instead begins
listening to the stories of Laurie, an old sailor, with a life on
the water behind him, and in whose ship the crew sail out into the
Andaman Sea.
