Rim Kin
Rim Kin (8 November 1911–28 January 1959) was a Cambodian writer, and one of the founders of Cambodian modern literature. He was the author of Sophat (1938), 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.
