Cambodia’s body of national literature, written in the Khmer language, was totally disrupted and nearly destroyed during the Khmer Rouge period and even today some of the after effects of their misrule are still apparent.

This year’s 9th Cambodia Book Fair will be held from December 9 to 11, under the theme “One Day to Read, One Day to Know” in order to promote reading and writing, the publishing industry, by enabling writers and publishers the opportunity to sell their wares. Khlot Vibolla, director of the National Library of Cambodia, discussed the preparations.
