The Elimination by Rithy Panh

The Elimination by Rithy Panh

From the internationally acclaimed director of S-21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine, a survivor's autobiography that confronts the evils of the Khmer Rouge dictatorship

Rithy Panh was only thirteen years old when the Khmer Rouge expelled his family from Phnom Penh in 1975. In the months and years that followed, his entire family was executed, starved, or worked to death. Thirty years later, after having become a respected filmmaker, Rithy Panh decides to question one of the men principally responsible for the genocide, Comrade Duch, who's neither an ordinary person nor a demon--he's an educated organizer, a slaughterer who talks, forgets, lies, explains, and works on his legacy. This confrontation unfolds into an exceptional narrative of human history and an examination of the nature of evil.

The Elimination stands among the essential works that document the immense tragedies of the twentieth century, with Primo Levi's If This Is a Man and Elie Wiesel's Night.

Christophe Bataille lives in France. His first novel, Annam, was published to critical acclaim when Bataille was only twenty-one years old and won for its author France's prestigious Prix du Premier Roman. Of his three previous novels, Annam and Hourmaster have been translated into English by the poet Richard Howard, who is also known for his translations of Camus, Foucault, Barthes, and others.
