Hunters in the Dark

..the film was written by Osborne from his own novel, about an Englishman adrift in Cambodia who’s eager to sidestep a life of quiet desperation as a smalltown teacher.

"Shot against the backdrop of modern Cambodia, a country that is itself trying to construct a new face to mask the horrors it endured in the second half of the 20th century, Hunters will explore identity, atonement and the dark currents that flow underneath human nature and fight back when we try to change our path," said Evans.

I'm seriously torn between this interesting book and a semi decent hooker

TEFLer the Movie. Sounds rather dull as a concept.

Yeah yeah I know I am resurrecting an old topic but that was about the movie. I have recently been reading the book and its a really good read. Its an engaging and almost poetic story about an innocent abroad. Battambang and Phnom Penh around 2015 through the eyes of a naive and carefree young English guy, with enough mystery and drama to keep the story going. The observations of the Khmers and the expats are spot on, and the locations are real and identifiable. Definitely worth a look. If anyone has a Kindle you can pm me, I can 'lend' it to you.
