Uneducated and unable to retain work that pays enough to pay for normal housing, Sang Ly and Ki Lim moved to Stung Meanchey and are "pickers," they literally pick through garbage daily in hopes to find enough good waste to sell to buy food for the day and save for their rent. Yes, they pay rent for their three-sided temporary structure made out of cardboard and tarps.
When the Cow, the name given to Sopeap Sin, the Rent Collector comes by to collect rent, Sang Ly recognizes the woman can read. Striking a bargain with Sopeap Sin, whom she will learn is a former university teacher, Sang Ly hopes that by learning to read, she can give her son, Nisay a better life.
Camron Wright has penned an incredible story about a once-real place (the living quarters of Stung Meanchey and other waste sites have been closed) and the lives these people live and their struggle to simply survive. The characters are so likable and so grateful for every tiny little thing they find and own, it is hard not to look at one's self as glutenous and short-sided.
The Rent Collector is fabulous and the tales within the story are wonderful. This book should sit on everyone's shelf.… (altro)
