WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE 2021 A GUARDIAN and THE
TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 'This slight book is an extraordinarily
powerful exploration of what happens to the souls of men sent to
kill and be killed' -- The Times, Historical Fiction Books of the
Year 'Extraordinary... full of sadness, rage and beauty' Sarah
Waters Alfa and Mademba are two of the many Senegalese soldiers
fighting in the Great War. Together they climb dutifully out of
their trenches to attack France's German enemies whenever the
whistle blows, until Mademba is wounded, and dies in a shell hole
with his belly torn open. Without his more-than-brother, Alfa is
alone and lost amidst the savagery of the conflict. He devotes
himself to the war, to violence and death, but soon begins to
frighten even his own comrades in arms. How far will Alfa go to
make amends to his dead friend? At Night All Blood is Black is a
hypnotic, heartbreaking rendering of a mind hurtling towards
madness.
