Lightning on the Sun (2000) is the only novel by Robert Bingham, published after his death in 1999. The novel relates how Asher, a "privileged young man", travels to Cambodia and wrestles with, amongst other things, drug addiction and trouble with a loan shark. In the New York Times, Stacey D'Erasmo highlighted Bingham's "wicked sense of humor"[1] and stated that the book reaches its peak in quality when Bingham's writing is at its "most nihilistic, when he lets the devils play."[2] In a review of the novel, Publishers Weekly commented that Bingham "might have become one of the strongest (writers) of his generation"[3] The novel was partly inspired by Bingham's own time spent in Cambodia.[4] References1. ^https://www.nytimes.com/books/00/04/23/reviews/000423.23erast.html 2. ^https://www.nytimes.com/books/00/04/23/reviews/000423.23erast.html 3. ^http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-0-385-48856-3 4. ^https://www.theguardian.com/books/2001/jul/01/fiction.features External links
