No Sell Dead

£ 12.00

“In Sioux Falls, a big woman from Guangzhou asked him to get off the bus with her. She had a restaurant called Great Wall and he could be an assistant stir-fryer. They could marry if he liked. She could see it was his first time in Falls because he didn’t know what to do about the wind. Clench against it or bend into it or just unzip and pretend it wasn’t there. And like so many of the new Asians in those days, he had half the horrors of the world written across his eyes.”

Description

As the Khmer Rouge atrocities cast their long shadow over a Cambodian family, a well-meaning observer is drawn into a tragedy he is fatally ill-equipped to understand.

 

“NO SELL DEAD is a fantastic read. With economical prose, a keen eye for detail, a measured rendition of the events before, during, and after the Pol Pot regime, and with an uncannily nuanced appreciation of Khmer culture, James Jennings serves up an engrossing novel that should especially delight anyone who has been involved in or acquainted with the international(ized) criminal tribunals and courts, and most notably, the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia.(ECCC).”
