Black Sunlight

<p><b>In this dark and deeply radical novel, Dambudzo Marechera offers a visceral account of a photojournalist''s entanglement with a terrorist organisation.</b><br><br>In an unnamed totalitarian state, the members of Black Sunlight – a group of violent anarchists – are the only ones fighting for change and justice. As their actions push the country further towards chaos, journalist Christian records it all through the lens of his camera.<br><br>Christian''s life so far has been one of immense struggle and alienation. So when he becomes tangled in the Black Sunlight uprising, he is determined to remain a bystander and nothing more; to capture their actions without praise or condemnation.<br><br>In evocative flashes of sex, violence, war, and myth, Christian''s story explodes in a labyrinthine plot, told through a chaotic stream-of-consciousness that mirrors the nation''s crumbling climate. <i>Black Sunlight</i> is a piercing insight into the darkness of the human psyche and a raw examination of a nation in battle against itself – where everything political turns deeply personal.<br><br>''Complex, challenging – and uniquely potent.'' <b><i>Guardian</i></b> <br>''A writer in constant quest for his real self.'' <b>Wole Soyinka.</b></p>
