And Thus, the Inevitable Dissolution - Nithi Nithiveragul

And Thus, the Inevitable Dissolution
By Nithi Nithiveragul

Long-listed for the S.E.A. Write Award (Novel, 2015)

In this (ambitiously romantic) novel, Nithi Nithiveragul traces the intricate lineage of three generations, weaving a narrative of inherited conflicts that ultimately drive the protagonist, Chop Anujaree, toward a fateful decision regarding his own existence.

The narrative is constructed through a mosaic of "evidence"—diaries, letters, a novella-within-a-novel, emails, and the fragmented ruins of memory. These artifacts serve as the remaining testament to a "vividly blurred state" of a human life, affirming both an individual's presence and their simultaneous vanishing.

It is rare for a contemporary author to harmonize history, memory, politics, and romance within a novelistic form so completely. Nithi achieves a work that is both profoundly moving and rigorously critical, balancing emotional depth with an uncompromising intellectual edge.

“...The singular truth surpassing all others in the life you were born into is this: you must die alone. Whether beloved or reviled, we enter and depart this world in solitude. That voice you yearn to hear from the distant horizon? It never truly existed...”

— Excerpt from And Thus, the Inevitable Dissolution

Nithi Nithiveragul considers this his most demanding work to date, a monumental exertion of creative energy that left even the author questioning if he could ever reach such heights again. It is a work of total vulnerability, giving birth to a protagonist who stands as a haunting double of the author—a shadow-self so inextricably linked that even in the face of total dissolution, they remain inseparable.
