I would glue myself to Mademba so the bullet that killed him would kill me, or the bullet that missed him would miss me.
The story is terrifying, gruesome, violent, graphic and repetitive. The last part went a bit of the rails and was more confusing and this downgraded my rating.

Repetitive sentences were a bit hard for me to get into the story at first, but I was horrified reading the last chapter and went back to the first page again, then the story felt different with more understanding about the background.
A dark and powerful novella about the violence and madness caused by war and colonialism.
