Generally,
I speak for 30-45 minutes, leaving some time for the audience
to ask questions. I give an overview of my life experience as
a girl growing up under the Khmer Rouge as described in the book,
starting with the normalcy in the relatively peaceful Cambodia
until the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouge regime. In conclusion,
I briefly explain details of my personal journey, during which
I have learned how to forgive the Khmer Rouge. If interested,
I am willing to do book signings free of charge, of course. Copies
of my book can be ordered through my publisher at www.wwnorton.com.
Please place the order in advance - at least a few weeks before
my visit. You can also purchase my book online at www.amazon.com,
www.barnesandnoble.com,
www.powells.com, or at most
bookstores in your area.
In addition
to speaking about the book, I also perform the Blessing Dance,
a Khmer classical dance, as requested. The dance symbolizes angels
descending from heaven to bless mortals with happiness and prosperity.
Fees vary,
depending on how many presentations and discussions I am asked
to give, plus accommodations such as air fare, hotel, and meals,
all arranged by the hosts for out-of-state and international visits.
For in-state visits, fees also vary, depending on the destination
of the visit, plus accommodations. I do charge fees for dance
performances.
I look
forward to speaking to and meeting new audiences, as well
as old ones who are interested in hearing me again, whom I will
be delighted to see.
