Hunters in the Dark by Lawrence Osborne.
Lawrence Osborne follows a young English teacher drifting through Cambodia, hoping to escape the narrow future he sees at home. The desire to step outside an ordinary life becomes the basis of literary suspense.
Read it for the uneasy relationship between escape and responsibility. The novel invites questions about what travelers imagine a place can offer them, and what those expectations prevent them from seeing.
