Tales of Asia, Bronwyn Sloan : Accountability
Without a doubt the most thoughtful op/ed written on Cambodia, and above all on human nature, this year.
For a 20-something boy such as this, already blessed with an education and suddenly imbued with a position he saw as pure power even if it was only a cadetship with a local newspaper, Phnom Penh is an oyster that can be opened just as well with an axe as a penknife. On his way to the top, he needed to step on his recent past to show his new power.
"Pay me now, or you will be sorry," he said. "You have money. Don't lie to me."

Le billet d'Assouline est jubilatoire parce qu'il s'est obligé à lire le livre. Moi j'en ai lu bien assez d'extraits pour savoir que je n'ai pas de temps à perdre à lire quand il tant (trop !) d'autres choses à lire.
