Here's for all the Khmer artists, the Khmer novelists, the Khmer journalists, the Khmer poets in the house - BE THE CHANGE!
"Two related themes, however, thread their way through all the novels of Mr. Vargas Llosa, who won the Nobel literature prize Thursday. These themes are a fascination with the human craving for freedom (be it political, social or creative) and the liberation conferred by art and imagination. Indeed, storytelling itself remains a central concern in the author’s work, in both his taste for willfully complicated narratives and his philosophical preoccupation with the ways in which subjectivity acts as a distorting prism for our apprehension of the world."
- "A Storyteller Enthralled by the Power of Art", International Herald Tribune, 8 Oct. 2010
