In this dark and deeply radical novel, Dambudzo Marechera offers a visceral account\n\nof a photojournalist's entanglement with a terrorist organisation.\nIn an unnamed totalitarian state, the members of Black Sunlight – a group of violent\nanarchists – are the only ones fighting for change and justice. As their actions push the\ncountry further towards chaos, journalist Christian records it all through the lens of his\ncamera.\nChristian's life so far has been one of immense struggle and alienation. So when he\nbecomes tangled in the Black Sunlight uprising, he is determined to remain a bystander\nand nothing more; to capture their actions without praise or condemnation.\nIn evocative flashes of sex, violence, war, and myth, Christian's story explodes in a\nlabyrinthine plot, told through a chaotic stream-of-consciousness that mirrors the\nnation's crumbling climate. Black Sunlight is a piercing insight into the darkness of the\nhuman psyche and a raw examination of a nation in battle against itself – where\neverything political turns deeply personal.\n'Complex, challenging – and uniquely potent.'
