slow-paced

Another YT recommendation, I read it but did need to look up the ending as I wasn’t able to fully grasp it, mostly my doing tbh, so remember gist if the plot so that’s a positive indication

Diop’s writing is startlingly clear, emotions and thoughts crystallised in their complexity. he focuses on duality, its many forms, and the separation from the self one experiences after war. this book is a triumph, a clear portrait of a man’s descent and the things that might be holding him together.

This WWI book is a great little read. The descriptions and storytelling are suburb. Details were properly harrowing.

The first part of the story was so wonderful, but the story turned away from the war and focused more on the main character's background. While the fantastic writing stayed the same, I was disappointed that the war was swept away by the end.
