At Night All Blood Is Black by David Diop

At Night All Blood Is Black by David Diop

Alfa Ndiaye watches his childhood friend die slowly in no man's land during the First World War, and blames himself for not ending the suffering sooner. What follows is a descent into ritualised, methodical horror as he begins bringing back trophies from the German trenches.

Diop writes in a hypnotic, incantatory style drawn from oral storytelling traditions, and the colonial machinery that sent African soldiers to fight and die for France is present throughout without ever being stated as an argument. The final section moves into genuinely unsettling territory.

Winner of the International Booker Prize. Short, intense and unforgettable.
