书籍介绍

A group of Koreans is making their way across a disease-ravaged landscape—but to what end? To the Warm Horizon shows how in a post-apocalyptic world, humans will still seek purpose, kinship, and even intimacy. Focusing on two young women, Jina and Dori, who find love against all odds, Choi Jin-young creates a dystopia where people are trying to find direction after having their worlds turned upside down.

Lucidly translated from the Korean by Soje, this thoughtful yet gripping novel takes the reader on a journey through how people adjust, or fail to adjust, to catastrophe.

用户评论
正常生活着的我,每天也都怀着面对末世的心情。
脆弱,坚韧。宁可削弱文学性也要使用第一人称的饱蘸感情的写法;父亲角色的东亚性;从类似一只口红这样的细节去写末日求生中的奢侈品(美、音乐、文字、爱)。最喜欢的部分是,在苦难之后,即使是被抓到了女人集中营里,在那么多人中间,互相之间,一眼只看到彼此。Jina长篇独白后描述自己看到的景象,最后一句写着:Among them was Dori. 切换到Dori的视角,整页只有一句话,其余都是空白:Among them was Jina.
