A Life in Pieces by Christopher Robinson

Young Bartholomew, just out of university, finds himself charged with the task of going out to Thailand to sort and possibly edit and publish the papers of his dead grandfather. Whilst he knew that Ta (the name his grandfather was always known by, it means paternal grandfather in Thai) was gay.
Christopher Robinson was a university lecturer, Fellow of an Oxford college and eventually Professor of European Literature in Oxford from the age of twenty-four until his retirement in 2004. He has since spent much of his time in Thailand and has written two volumes of stories about his life there. These stories focus on Thai social norms and how they challenge Western assumptions, particularly about gender and sexuality. He has a wife and three children but came out as gay in 1991.
