Hart's focus is on nonfiction, but most of the lessons apply to fiction as well. I look forward to applying his advice.(less)

It's written by a Cambodian born after Vietnam vanquished the Khmer Rouge from much of the country, and a variety of Cambodian and foreign researchers aided him. The book's main limitation is that it doesn't significantly explain the intellectual roots of the Khmer Rouge (i.e. it doesn't answer the question 'why'), the Cold War context (the Vietnam War isn't really a factor), or the debates and competition among Communists.(less)

I suspect that I won't return to it mentally as I evaluate my own life. Almost every piece of the work is a tour de force, but the overall result, for me, wasn't.(less)

Except for an occasional peek, I hopscotched over the additional chapters, and I'm glad that I did. Even so, beware: this is a complex and challenging novel, and appreciating much of its beauty requires considerable inference and patience. I also recommend reading Rayuela in Spanish; after doing so, I checked the English version and found it lacking much of the original's charm. In addition, the notes and map in this deluxe edition will be mostly useless for most readers.(less)

Also, Agee scatters profoundly affecting images, observations, and interactions throughout this work. Unfortunately, I find slogging through so much detail to be tedious, especially when reading scenes that his characters themselves find tedious, or needlessly chronic, when they are feeling pain.(less)
