Beau

"The angel has black wings, likes an orange cat, and purple Tutti Fruttis." A young artist was befriended by an angel before she could draw. The angel that wandered through the eternity and unable to fully comprehend humans in all their complexities yet sense all their emotions-after all, "Joy echoes a ringing bell. Sorrow is the whisking winds in the smell of mud. Pain has a piercing scream. Expectation whistles like the wind on the mountain top..." The story of loss, loneliness, and self-discovery. Beau (is Non-Binary of Everything) has first emerged as a sensation among the online independent book readers community, especially the young Thai LGBTQ community. The story captures the tormenting loneliness of young adults and the existential void. The story follows Kwon Cho, a young artist, trying to make art that lives eternally beyond her ephemeral life. She is befriended by Beau, an angel, a non-binary being that learns the complexity and absurdity of human life for the first time through Kwon Cho. Through Beau, we step closer to understanding life, self-love, friendship, and art. And without a gender lens, it all just is...beautiful as it is.
