Our Beautiful Darkness
Ondjaki, António Jorge Gonçalves (illustrator), translated by Lyn Miller-Lachmann
It’s an evening of a power cut in 1990s Luanda, Angola. Brought closer by the darkness, two young people open up to each other. The white on black illustrations and poetic dialogue combine to form a beautiful story of young love, of light in the darkness. A graphic novella that is at once intimate and profound.
