Graphic (& graphic) family history of survival under the Khmer Rouge. The large cast of characters presented in the beginning of the book was a little intimidating, but once the narrative starts, it is relatively easy to follow & keep track of everyone. Really captures the apocalyptic nature of the “Year Zero”. How much post-apocalyptic fiction was inspired by the Cambodian Revolution? Veasna is really good at drawing evil menacing children. Year of the Rabbit is full of small details that make me curious about aspects of Cambodian history that are outside the scope & experience of one family. For instance, the chart at the beginning of chapter 19 indicates that the Khmer Rouge may have killed over half of their own party during their years in power, making me wonder about the party’s inner workings. This is a book to draw one down countless rabbit holes.
