The novel is the 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 fevered mind unable to cope with the grief and horrors of war. Alpha N'Die, 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 terrifying ritual that, over time, begins to terrify his comrades more and more. How far will Alpha go to make amends with his fallen friend?

Ridden with bullets and pagan magic, "At Night All the Blood Is Black" evokes a forgotten chapter in the history of the First World War. By blending oral traditions with the dry journalistic depiction of the horrors of life in the trenches, David Diop has created a story of extraordinary power and awe about a man's descent into madness.
