"Y-Dang Troeung's presence feels so alive in these pages, where wonder and sorrow, motherhood and history trace one another across time, and unspool the shape of our present. Landbridge has forever altered what I know, how I love, and what I hope" (Madeleine Thien, author)

"Landbridge is the most courageous act of love from an academic who has pared back all the pretensions of academia, a writer who understands the true gift of voice and interrogates who gets to 'gift' it, a book that illuminates with laser-bright insight the duty of the 'survivor.' Y-Dang's wisdom, stoicism and brilliance survive in this masterpiece to console and guide generations to come" (Alice Pung, author)

"Landbridge is the most unforgettable book I've read in years, a work of astounding humanity and honesty in the face of unimaginable grief. It is no small undertaking, to wrestle with the generational toll of genocide, migration, upended pasts and unreachable futures, yet this is what Y-Dang Troeung does. In their totality, the fragments that make up this memoir are a vital, visceral reminder that, across all manner of tragedy and violence and even time, we are bound to one another by love. For all the pain it charts and of which its author manages to make meaning, Landbridge is, above all else, a love story, one that will be remembered" (Omar El Akkad, Giller-prize winning author)
