Winner of the 2021 Man Booker International Prize, the European Literary Prize and the Prix Goncourt des Lycées.

A hypnotic and heartbreaking tale of a mind overwhelmed by grief and the horrors of war. Alpha Ndieh, a Senegalese soldier fighting for France during World War I, loses his friend Mademba Diop on the battlefield. Without his brother, Alpha is alone and lost, but finds salvation in a macabre ritual that begins to frighten his comrades more and more. How far will Alpha go to make amends with his fallen friend?

Ridden through with bullets and pagan magic, At Night All the Blood Is Black recalls a forgotten chapter in the history of World War I. By blending oral traditions with the dry journalistic description of the horrors of life in the trenches, David Diop has created a story of man's descent into madness that is both powerful and astounding.
