Event in French
With Catriona Seth (All Souls College)

Organised in collaboration with the Alliance Française d’Oxford.

French novelist David Diop will discuss his approach to literature and writing with Catriona Seth. He is the acclaimed author of At Night All Blood is Black, a stunning account on a young Senegalese soldier’s descent into madness during the First World War, which won the International Booker Prize in 2021. His most recent book, Beyond the Door of No Return, is a gripping semi-historical imagining of the memories of a French naturalist in 18th-century Africa.
