Six years ago at the age of twenty-one, Jaed Muncharoen Coffin, a half-Thai American man, left New England's privileged Middlebury College to be ordained as a Buddhist monk in his mother's native village of Panomsarakram--thus fulfilling a familial obligation. While addressing the notions of displacement, ethnic identity, and cultural belonging, A Chant to Soothe Wild Elephants chronicles his time at the temple that rain season--receiving alms in the streets in saffron robes; bathing in the canals; learning to meditate in a mountaintop hut; and falling in love with Lek, a beautiful Thai woman who comes to represent the life he can have if he stays. Part armchair travel, part coming-of-age story, this debut work transcends the memoir genre and ushers in a brave new voice in American nonfiction.Binding Type: Paperback

One of the best frothers I’ve owned
One of the best frothers I have owned. Powerful and holds charge for a long time. Yes! It’s rechargeable! Love the stand and that it comes apart for transport.

Works great and nice stand
The product works great, I use it to mix powders in to drinks. The stand looks nice and makes charging super easy. It looks really nice and I keep it out on the counter. To clean it after I just run water on it in the sink and turn it on.

Best Frother I've Ever Bought
Love the power of this frother! It makes excellent lattes and blends my collagen peptides in so well! I also love that it is USB rechargeable instead of battery powered so it is always at top motor strength.
