This story delves deep into the nightmarish realities of imperialism and the dehumanisation caused by European colonisation. The narrator does a fantastic job of highlighting the authors language, its poetic and extremely hypnotic as well as being quite literary heavy at times,
Trigger warning for some, the tone and language used by the author at times towards the indigenous Africans can be jarring and unpleasant but is used to highlight the brutality of colonialism.
