Rim Kin (Khmer: រីម គីន; 8 November 1911–28 January 1959) was a Cambodian writer, and one of the founders of Cambodian modern literature.[1] He was the author of Sophat (Khmer: សូផាត, 1938), the first published novel in Cambodia[2] to be written in prose rather than the customary verse form.[3] It became a 1964 movie of the same name. In 1935, the weekly Cambodian newspaper Ratri Thnai Saur (Khmer: រាត្រីថ្ងៃសៅរ៍) was founded and it hosted the first modern serial stories of Kin.[1] From 1955 through 1957, Kin was the first president of the Khmer Writers' Association.[4]
