Descriere magazin:
Not since Jerzy Kosinski\'s The Painted Bird or Agota Kristof\'s Notebook Trilogy has there been such a harrowing novel about what it\'s like to be a young person in a war. That Chris Abani is able to find humanity, mercy, and even, yes, forgiveness, amid such devastation is something of a miracle.--Rebecca Brown, author of The End of Youth The moment you enter these pages, you step into a beautiful and terrifying dream. You are in the hands of a master, a literary shaman. Abani casts his spell so completely--so devastatingly--you emerge cleansed, redeemed, and utterly haunted.--Brad Kessler, author of Birds in Fall Part Inferno, part Paradise Lost, and part Sunjiata epic, Song for Night is the story of a West African boy soldier\'s lyrical, terrifying, yet beautiful journey through the nightmare landscape of a brutal war in search of his lost platoon. The reader is led by the voiceless protagonist who, as part of a land mine-clearing platoon, had his vocal chords cut, a move to keep these children from screaming when blown up, and thereby distracting the other minesweepers. The book is written in a ghostly voice, with each chapter headed by a line of the unique sign language these children invented. This book is unlike anything else ever written about an African war.

His other prizes include a PEN Freedom to Write Award, a Prince Claus Award, and a Lannan Literary Fellowship. He lives and teaches in California. nChris Abani might be the most courageous writer working right now. There is no subject matter he finds daunting, no challenge he fears. Aside from that, he\'s stunningly prolific and writes like an angel. If you want to get at the molten heart of contemporary fiction, Abani is the starting point. --Dave Eggers, author of What Is the What Part Inferno, part Paradise Lost, and part Sunjiata epic, Song for Night is the story of a West African boy soldier\'s lyrical, terrifying, yet beautiful journey through the nightmare landscape of a brutal war in search of his lost platoon.
