A review by oxnard_montalvo
At Night All Blood Is Black by David Diop

Opens straight into the gristly realities of war; life in the trenches, the cameraderie as well as the dehumanisation of the soldiers fighting for France. As our narrator slides deeper into madness, the story becomes more lucid. His memories of life back home are clear and bright. There's joy as well as sadness and tragedy. What impressed me was Diop's ability to condense so much into so brief a story. I admire his control and the lyrical way in which he writes.
