We walked a lot in Bangkok. One day we happened upon the River Books shop. I was delighted to see my friend’s new book Backstage Mandalay- the netherworld of burmese performing arts smack center of the window. It’s a book of gorgeous photography and insight into the Burmese night theater tradition. I designed the cover using a typeface that channels the Burmese very circular alphabet. Next visit to Asia we must see Burma.
