The novel by Madeleine Thiene, Dogs at the Perimeter (2011), written by a Sino-Canadian writer, is about a child's life in Cambodia and is voiced in a wavelength, described by Amitav Ghosh, as "painfully soft-spoken in the Khmer way". Inevitably pivoting around traumas, the narrative develops through (linguistic) symptoms. It is exactly this unique, magnificently elaborate relationship between a literary work and "a" language, its "own" language, that is worth exploring here.

Abstract
The novel by Madeleine Thiene, Dogs at the Perimeter (2011), written by a Sino-Canadian writer, is about a child's life in Cambodia and is voiced in a wavelength, described by Amitav Ghosh, as "painfully soft-spoken in the Khmer way". Inevitably pivoting around traumas, the narrative develops through (linguistic) symptoms. It is exactly this unique, magnificently elaborate relationship between a literary work and "a" language, its "own" language, that is worth exploring here.
