Shortly before World War I, fate brings the protagonists together on the East Coast of Africa. Hamza and Ilyas serve on the side of the German soldiers - and return home. Afia is in the care of a strict family, where she is tortured for her ability to read. The paths of young people cross, they try to build ordinary lives, but the shadow of the coming war threatens to destroy the fragile peace. Meaningless anger and the uneasy relationship between oppressors and oppressed, deep love, cruelty and the consequences of colonial politics - in the new novel by the 2021 Nobel laureate in literature. "Postmortem" is widely recognized for its description of the little-studied theme of the life of Africans kidnapped to fight for Europe. In Russian is published for the first time.
