As the publication date nears (June 18) for the paperback edition of The Map of Lost Memories, I have been working on a book club guide with my publisher, to be included in the back of the book. I was just sent a final version and would like to post it here.
NOTE: The guide assumes you've read the book, so there are spoilers in it.

Two Rejections, a Reading, and a Photo (Sort of) with Peter Coyote
"
Getting one’s writing published can be an exercise in both perseverance and masochism. Most of us have experienced both seemingly endless strings of rejections and mercifully short ones. This is a story of the latter.
Two rejections indirectly ..."

“...when we were walking through Angkor War, I found myself wondering about what is lost when one culture is systematically annihilated so another can thrive in the name of progress. Think about it, what might have happened if Cambodia hadn't eventually been taken over by Siam and then France - what the Cambodians could offer the world if they're given the opportunity to follow through with what they're meant to become.”

“When Angkorian society began, Paris and London were not much more than elaborate villages. Europe was crawling with barbarians, and here were the Khmer engineering sophisticated irrigation systems and constructing the biggest temple in the world.”

“More than any expert Irene had met, Mr. Simms mastered the intricacies of dealing in art. He understood an object's worth, not solely its dollar value but how that value could be manipulated into emotional currency.”
