S. P. Somtow
S. P. Somtow (a rearrangement of his real name Somtow Papinian Sucharitkul; (タイ語:สมเถา สุจริตกุล); ; born December 30, 1952) is a Thai-American musical composer. He is also a science fiction, fantasy, and horror author writing in English. Somtow has both Thai and American citizenship.〔Somtow, S. P., “Reinventing oneself as a Southeast Asian writer,” ''The Nation'' (Thailand), 16 October 2006〕〔Somtow, S.

==Youth==
A descendant of the Royal Chakri dynasty (his grandfather’s sister was a cousin and consort of King Vajiravudh), Somtow was born in Bangkok. However, he moved to England with his parents at the age of six months〔Somtow.com, (Bio )〕 and English was his first language. Somtow was educated at Eton College and at St Catharine’s College, Cambridge. He returned to Thailand in the early 1960s for a five-year period, during which he became fluent in the Thai language. At age 11, he wrote a poem called ''Kith of Infinity'', which was published in the English-language ''Bangkok Post''. Shirley MacLaine saw it, and thinking that it was written by a dead poet, included it in her autobiography, ''Don’t Fall Off the Mountain''.〔Melton, J. Gordon, ''The Vampire Book, the Encyclopedia of the Undead'', ISBN 1-57859-076-0.〕 The poem contains the line “I am not a man,” since Somtow was not yet an adult. It is presumed this caused MacLaine to assume that the author was a woman.
