In a country teetering on the brink of civil war, two young people meet—sensual, fiercely independent Nadia and gentle, restrained Saeed. They embark on a furtive love affair, and are soon cloistered in a premature intimacy by the unrest roiling their city. When it explodes, turning familiar streets into a patchwork of checkpoints and bomb blasts, they begin to hear whispers about doors—doors that can whisk people far away, if perilously and for a price. As the violence escalates, Nadia and Saeed decide that they no longer have a choice. Leaving their homeland and their old lives behind, they find a door and step through. . . .
Exit West follows these remarkable characters as they emerge into an alien and uncertain future, struggling to hold on to each other, to their past, to the very sense of who they are. Profoundly intimate and powerfully inventive, it tells an unforgettable story of love, loyalty, and courage that is both completely of our time and for all time.

What’s your answer for a utopian world? The writer’s utopia is California.
評分就記住一句颱詞“我們做愛吧”。
評分盡管作者用一種冷靜和剋製的語調完成瞭敘事,假藉愛情和科幻的結構探索當代問題,無論這種敘事的嘗試改變瞭什麼,這個故事是真的很無聊。可能也是作者自身族裔的問題,在處理難民/移民身份上有點過度浪漫主義化。選擇瞭兩個非暴力的主角,真的就深入難民問題的核心瞭麼?或者本質上混淆瞭難民/移民的界限,(或者如今天上廁所牆上被人塗鴉的slogan一樣,)legality(移民) ≠ morality(難民)。這個“門”作為一種突破,既不閤法,也不道德。它並沒有體現一種問題思考,而是在假想一種廉價的“和諧”。
評分We are all migrants through time. (In memory of my first English version book.)
評分不如作者其他幾本精彩
