註釋Fiction. Asian American Studies. In 1953, after the end of the Korean War, 23 POWs refused to repatriate to America. THE LAST REPATRIATE tells the story of Theodore Dickerson, a prisoner who eventually returns to his home in Virginia in the midst of the McCarthy Era. He is welcomed back as a hero, though he has not returned unscathed. The lasting effects of the POW camp and troubles with his ex-fiancee complicate his new marriage as he struggles to readjust to the Virginia he holds dear.

"A harrowing story rendered in balletic prose, THE LAST REPATRIATE draws us inside a war of the body and of the heart-a confirmation of Salesses's inventive, ambitious, big-hearted brilliance." Laura van den Berg

"Matthew Salesses is a writer to embrace. In their beauty, strangeness, and heart, his fictions are a gift." Paul Yoon

"Salesses's examination of the troubled mind of a Korean War POW returning home is pensive and brooding. A subtly painful psychological journey." James Franco"
