Madeleine Thien

Light Paperback (1 lb or less)

Alabama

Dogs at the Perimeter evokes the storm of totalitarianism through the eyes of Janie, a young girl exiled from her home in Phnom Penh by the Khmer Rouge, and draws a remarkable map of the mind's battle with memory, loss, and the horrors of war. "The strife in Indo-China has inspired some astonishing writing in recent decades. . . . Dogs at the Perimeter belongs with the best of such works. But it also tells a more universal story about being borne back into the past--and the inescapability of history."--Economist "Fiction like this, clear-eyed and truthful, can give a shape to the chaos of history. . . . The quiet elegance of Thien's writing makes a brutal story powerful and moving."--The Times (London) "Utterly convincing in how it weighs the psychological damage inflicted by a regime that demands denial of family, friends and self as a condition of survival."--Financial Times
