<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Vivid, passionate, funny, deeply researched, and page-turningly plotted, this novel--set in northern Thailand--is a daring, spellbinding tale of anthropologists, missionaries, demon possession, sexual taboos, murder, and an obsessed young reporter named Mischa Berlinski.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>When his girlfriend takes a job in Thailand, Mischa Berlinski goes along for the ride, planning to enjoy himself and work as little as possible. But one evening a fellow expatriate tips him off to a story: a charismatic American anthropologist, Martiya van der Leun, has been found dead--a suicide--in the Thai prison where she was serving a life sentence for murder. Curious at first, Mischa is soon immersed in the details of her story. This brilliant, haunting novel expands into a mystery set among the Thai hill tribes, whose way of life became a battleground for the missionaries and the scientists living among them. <br><i>Fieldwork</i> is a 2007 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A Russian doll of a read . . .
