===> CAMERADO acquires Khmer translation rights
to Kerouac’s “On the Road”(docu of project planned)
CAMERADO is happy to announce the acquisition via purchase of the Khmer language
translation rights to Jack Kerouac’s classic novel, “On the Road”.
We thank STERLING LORD LITERISTIC, INC., New York, NY, for additional flexibility
in granting the rights to conduct a simultaneous interpretive translation
in order to assist Cambodian readers and scholars to gain insight into some
areas of Western culture and milieu which may be otherwise challenging.
The linkages between OTR, Kerouac, and Cambodian culture are interesting:
Kerouac was born and raised in Lowell, Massachussetts, which happens to be home of
one of the largest Cambodian communities in the US; furthermore, Kerouac, who studied
Buddhism extensively, wrote his first draft of the first great Beat novel on a single,
150 foot scroll of teletype paper; the novel itself describes an exuberant and
dizzyingly rapid state of development of a nation (the US), just after WWII, which
resonates with aspects with Cambodia’s own rapid development as a viable nation today…
A documentary following the progress of the project is planned, as the process of
translating from contemporary Latin-based Beat English to Pali-based Khmer will be
challenging…Interested and willing collaborators, commissioning editors, poets,
scholars, publishers, and translators–
please drop us a line.
