Beyond the Door of No Return by David Diop

3.0

---

Having now read two of Diop's novels, I'm convinced of his talent. His distinctive writing style may not appeal to everyone, but it's won me over. What impresses me most is how he crafts an immersive experience that survives the translation process intact. For historical fiction enthusiasts curious about translated works, Diop's novels are a must-read.
