His first book "The Last Smile" (1982) was a sabre-rattling political novel, with one character based loosely on Hun Sen. His second, "The One Who Goes Away," compiles tender observations of a life spent in Cambodia. It's wild stuff for a man who's been described as the "mouthpiece" of the strait-laced CPP, but it's just another delicious incongruity for Kanharith.
