The Narrow Road to the Deep North

Author: Richard Flanagan

Description:   SIGNED by the author.   In The Narrow Road to the Deep North, Richard Flanagan displays the gifts that have made him one of the most acclaimed writers of contemporary fiction. Moving deftly from a Japanese POW camp to present-day Australia, from the experiences of Dorrigo Evans and his fellow prisoners to that of the Japanese guards, this savagely beautiful novel tells a story of the many forms of love and death, of war and truth, as one man comes of age, prospers, only to discover all that he has lost.  Of the horrors experienced by Allied soldiers, forced by their Japanese captors to build a railway between Thailand and Burma under appalling slave labor conditions, the hero of Richard Flanagan’s new novel observes that it’s impossible to convey “the suffering, the deaths, the sorrow, the abject, pathetic pointlessness of such immense suffering by so many.”  -- Mr. Flanagan’s father, Archie, was one of the 60,000-odd Allied prisoners of war who worked on that railway in 1943.  His son manages to convey with stomach-churning power the sheer awfulness of this chapter in World War II history, which claimed the lives of some 13,000 prisoners of war and 100,000 local workers.
