In this dark and deeply radical novel, Dambudzo Marechera offers a visceral account
of a photojournalist’s entanglement with a terrorist organisation.
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.
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.
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. Black Sunlight 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.
‘Complex, challenging – and uniquely potent.’ Guardian
‘A writer in constant quest for his real self.’ Wole Soyinka.
