Re: Books by Cambodian authors, translated into English, that aren't about the Khmer Rouge
As far as I know, not so many as there is no market for them in Cambodia. https://www.khmertimeskh.com/26181/khme ... -dries-up/ Of the ones there are very few have English translations, and most are romance novels, like the works of Mao Somnang. There is some classical literature based on folktales like Tum Teav as well, which you can get in English. Tum Teav is... interesting, I suppose.
Edit: A link to Tum Teav https://sokheounpang.files.wordpress.co ... m-teav.pdf

What are you looking for ? Fiction or non-fiction ?
I just went through the CEO Culture forum archives and found these:
Non-fiction

cambodian-culture-and-language/tides-em ... 38736.html
Published in 1961 : cambodian-culture-and-language/new-sun- ... 35853.html
Maybe this one: cambodian-culture-and-language/cloak-go ... 34841.html (Some Khmer Rouge, but not just that, according to the review.)
