At Night All Blood is Black

At Night All Blood is Black is the story of a Senegalese soldier who comes unraveled after the death of his closest friend during WWI. Because this story is narrated by a person who is struggling with his sanity, the prose can sometimes be difficult to follow. There is a considerable amount of circular thought and repetition. At first I wasn't sure if this might simply be authorial style or the product of a translated work, but flashbacks in the story highlight a more lucid style. The story is interesting in summary, but I personally found the implementation too jarring to allow myself to be fully immersed in its telling.
