I've just finished this history of #Cambodia. It is depressing.

Last Saturday, I went to an exhibition of pictures taken by Reza, a photojournalist. There was 1 taken in Cambodia in the 90s, of a car used to trigger any mines left on railways, so that it, rather than the real train, explodes. As you can see, it is packed with people risking their lives for a free train ride.

Whew. I don‘t really know how to “rate” a book like this, but I will say (a) I read the whole thing in 24 hours, (b) I now know more about the Cambodian genocide in the 70s than I did before, and (c) I am in awe of the courage that it must take Arn to tell the story as he has. He‘s not 100% hero, he‘s not 100% villain - he is fully human, making choices in impossible circumstances. #FoodandLit

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick This sounds like another good one for Cambodia. Thanks for sharing! 17m

“Leaving Angkor, he took a motodop to see the sunset at Ta Prohm—the next temple on the tourist trail, and the one that had loomed largest in his mind for twenty years. It was renowned for the way the jungle trees had grown into its fabric, the serpentine roots of silk-cottons and strangler figs draping themselves over its columns and pediments, worming tendrils deep into their fissures until root and stone were inseparable.”

Cambodian dessert: a baked pumpkin filled with pandan-flavoured coconut custard. It's quite the centerpiece! You're supposed to use kabocha pumpkin, but I had a jack-be-little that needed eating, and that was just the right size for me, so I used it instead. It would have tasted better with a kabocha though. And I subbed South-East-Asian pandan with kewra water.

I‘m reading another book for #foodandlit for #Cambodia. It‘s gotten very dark, and so, needing something lighter and available from the library, I started this ebook tonight. It seems pretty dark as well. Alas a difficult country to read about. @Butterfinger @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick My library only had the audio of this book in the version adapted for young readers. It's dark but hopeful. I'm likely finishing it today. I hope the regular version isn't too far off. 23h

Doll8455 All of a sudden there was a roneat sound that disturbed the entire courtroom. The judge stood and let everyone know that the noise was music from a xylophone next door. My lawyer showed so much diffidence due to the weird happenings, I‘m scared again, then I saw the sheriff dandling the new rope—@texreader (edited) 1d

Butterfinger That's right!!! It shouldn't matter. I minored in history and a professor lectured on how Napoleon created nationalism. I guess when a collective is attacked, it begets patriotism, but asking for an ethnic origin is rude and needless and I have been guilty of it. Only because I find it fascinating to know someone unique. 1d
