A Death in Hong Kong 榮獲各大傳媒支持及推薦
本社十分榮幸A Death in Hong Kong: The MacLennan Case of 1980 and the Suppression of a Scandal 於 2018年3月出版以來,得到多間傳媒支持及報導,並入選為推薦書項目。
香港80年代同性戀行為仍屬刑事罪行,本書講述皇家香港警察外籍督察麥樂倫 ( John MacLennan)因其同性戀者的身份,受到警務處被迫害,最後更以與同性戀有關的罪名被起訴,最終在宿舍連開5槍自殺死亡。本書不單講述麥樂倫這宗案件,更真實反映當時香港80年代同性戀社會狀況。
本書早前除了獲得 皇家亞洲學會的歷史書獎之外,最近更獲選為亞洲時報 (Asia Times) 的「新一年好書推薦」及商務印書館「2018年度推薦書」之一。 新年新開始,此書絕對值得閱讀及珍藏。
