Samen met zijn moeder bracht Jeroen Brouwers zijn kleuterjaren door in het Japanse interneringskamp Tjideng op Java. In de roman Bezonken rood heeft hij op aangrijpende wijze zijn herinneringen verwerkt aan deze periode uit zijn jeugd. Bezonken rood werd door de critici vrijwel unaniem lovend besproken, verscheen in twaalf landen in vertaling en werd in 1995 in Parijs bekroond met de prestigieuze Prix Fémina Étranger. In 1993 ontving Jeroen Brouwers de Constantijn Huygens-prijs voor zijn gehele oeuvre.' ([Bron][1]) [1]: http://www.bol.com/nl/p/bezonken-rood/1001004005446700/?country=BE
