‘A nuanced psychological portrait of the bonds—platonic and sexual—men create for survival…. What begins as an unforgettable account of prisoners of war ends as something surprising: a love story.’——科克斯評論,星級書評
‘‘Such a powerful, melodic, urgent and honest story of suffering, love and survival I have never quite encountered before. This is a jewel of a tale — a vital and raw piece of the true human experience — and it needs to never be forgotten. I am honored to have read it, and will pass it along to many others.’——伊莉莎白.吉兒伯特,《享受吧!一個人的旅行》作者
‘BITTER EDEN’s love is neither kind nor tame nor ever adorned. The word love is never mentioned, because love—if this is really the name for it—is so spare and brutal and bare-knuckled that the characters themselves aren’t even aware of it. But this book will haunt you, and stay with you, and won’t ever let go, just like the memory of a love that never happened but should have happened continues to exact its toll of misfired hopes and regrets. But the language is not spare and the poetry here, like shards of a broken bottle, is simply everywhere.’——安德烈.艾席蒙(Andre Aciman),《以你的名字呼喚我》(Call Me By Your Name)作者
