APARTMENT IN ATHENS
Book ID/图书代码： 06000012B54643
English Summary/英文概要： Like Wescott’s extraordinary novella The Pilgrim Hawk (which Susan Sontag described in The New Yorker as belonging "among the treasures of 20th-century American literature"), Apartment in Athens concerns an unusual triangular relationship. In this story about a Greek couple in Nazi-occupied Athens who must share their living quarters with a German officer, Wescott stages an intense and unsettling drama of accommodation and rejection, resistance and compulsion—an account of political oppression and spiritual struggle that is also a parable about the costs of closeted identity.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 就像Wescott那非凡的中篇小说《朝圣者航母》（Susan Sontag在‘纽约客’里将其描述为20世纪美国文学史上的宝藏），《雅典公寓》涉及到了一段不同寻常的三角关系。这段故事讲述的是一对在纳粹统治下的雅典的一对希腊夫妇，他们必须与一个德国军官分享自己的住处，Wescott展示了一出有关住宿和拒绝、反抗和强制的紧张不安的戏剧---既是对政治压迫和精神挣扎的描写，又是对秘密身份花费的比喻。(LNL)

对羞辱和尊贵的良好解读，以及最后在悲剧和绝望时候的高潮•••它的缓和、毫不夸张以及平静作为它们所反映和尊敬的希腊理想是值得钦佩的。全篇都很有风格，没有意思浪费的和不想要的。--- Eudora Welty
我从没有读过其他类似的书---要么是小说要么是记叙---给了我如饥似渴的感觉，在室内突然回落，构建内部的防御，重新设计和定向，服从面具的背后，人生的整个结构和目的，但《雅典公寓》做到了。--- Edmund Wilson

A fine study in humiliation and nobility, and their culmination in tragedy and desperate resolve…its moderateness, lack of exaggeration, and serenity are admirable as the Greek ideal they reflect and honor. Everywhere is the dignity of a style in which there is nothing wasteful and nothing wanting.---Eudora Welty
I have not read any other book—either of fiction or direct documentation—which has given me the feeling of starving and stifling, of falling back on interior positions, constructing interior defenses, reorganizing and redirecting, behind a mask of submission, the whole structure and aim of one’s life, as Apartment in Athens does.--- Edmund Wilson
