» Sasin Chalermlarp is secretary-general of the Seub Nakhasathien Foundation and probably the best-known conservationist at the moment. Last year he led a 300km walk to campaign against the construction of Mae Wong Dam. Last month, he led a sitting protest for the same cause in Bangkok. But not many people know that Sasin has made a mark in the literary scene. His book, Pom Tam Ngarn Hai Phi Seub (I Work For Brother Seub) won second prize in the non-fiction category the at 2014 Seven Book Awards. Sasin chats with Life about his reading list and how he intentionally imitates the style of his literary idol Seksan Prasertkul.
