Rim Kin

Rim Kin was a Cambodian writer, and one of the founders of Cambodian modern literature. He was the author of Sophat, the first published novel in Cambodia to be written in prose rather than the customary verse form. It became a 1964 movie of the same name. In 1935, the weekly Cambodian newspaper Ratri Thnai Saur was founded and it hosted the first modern serial stories of Kin. From 1955 through 1957, Kin was the first president of the Khmer Writers' Association.
