Haunting tales of loss, regret, and betrayal.

Phnom Penh Noir is a must-read for those who are interested in exploring the aftermath of the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. The anthology features moving and poignant stories that capture the essence of a society grappling with the aftermath of a brutal genocide. What sets this book apart is its nuanced portrayal of the characters who carry the weight of history on their shoulders, and the rich and atmospheric setting of Phnom Penh that adds depth to each tale. Furthermore, the fact that the authors and publishers are contributing a portion of their earnings to selected charities in Cambodia is a testament to their commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who have suffered the most. Overall, Phnom Penh Noir is a powerful and unforgettable collection that provides a window into a world that is rarely seen by outsiders.

Description

Many noir anthologies have inspired writers and publishers around the world to gather novelists to set noir stories in a city. When it comes to noir, not all cities are equal. The history of genocide and dislocation sets Phnom Penh apart from other places. What other city in modern times was emptied of all of his people at gun point, a city abandoned and left as a ghost town? The authors of Phnom Penh Noir take you inside the lives of Cambodians who carry that legacy of that fateful day on 17th April 1975 when the Khmer Rouge arrived and forced the population to evacuate to the countryside. The Khmer Rouge experiment resulted in radical transformation of a society that left a bloody trail, one that left almost no family untouched, and hovers close to the surface in these stories. In Phnom Penh Noir, the stories, lyrics, and cover photograph have joined legendary creative talents like Roland Joffe, James Grady and John Burdett along with a young generation of Cambodians. The noir tales unfold through multiple points of view and enrich the reading experience. Truth, mortality, regret, betrayal, and loss play out in these stories, poetry and lyrics. The authors and publishers will contribute twenty percent of their earnings from this book to selected charity organizations in Cambodia. Official website: www.phnompenhnoir.com
