English Summary/英文概要: HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA - a short story collection by Laura Jean McKay.
HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA is a powerful and impressive debut which will appeal to fans of Alice Munro, Nam Le, Lorrie Moore and Jennifer Egan.
Beyond the killing fields and the temples of Angkor Wat is Cambodia: a country with a genocidal past and a wide, open smile. A frontier land where anything is possible – at least for Western expatriates.
In these loosely linked stories, Laura Jean McKay takes us deep into this complex country, exploring the uneasy spaces where local and foreign lives meet.
Three backpackers board a train, ignoring the danger signs – and find themselves used as a bargaining chip in the hands of the Khmer Rouge.
Elderly sisters are visited by their vampire niece from Australia and set out to cure her. A singer creates a sensation in swinging 1969, on the eve of the American bombings of Cambodia.
