“The
best book on the 731-Corps I’ve read.”
—Bernard Trink, Bangkok Post
“Moore
has constructed what is becoming increasingly rare: a novel
that combines meaningful ideas with deep emotion, a novel
in which social, political and personal themes all intermingle
. . . and it can only be hoped that the novel will achieve
the international recognition it deserves.”
—The Daily Yomiuri
“Moore
is also a playwright and this shines through in his fiercely
dramatic prose reminiscent of Samuel Beckett’s style.”
—The Nation
