Summary

David Diop: The Doorway of No Return

The best book of 2023 according to the Financial Times, Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews, and shortlisted for the 2023 National Book Award in the category of translated literature.
"The Doorway of No Return" is the name of Gore Island near the capital of Senegal, from which millions of Africans left during the slave trade. In Senegal, which was a French concession in 1750, a young botanist arrived to study the local flora and nurture the dream of founding a universal encyclopedia of living beings, in the century when the time of enlightenment came. When he hears the story of a young African woman who managed to escape after being sold into slavery, his journey and destiny turn into a search for her. Accompanied by his guide, he sets off deep into the Senegalese wilderness, on a journey that reveals not only the cruelty of French colonial occupation but also the incredible ways of the human heart.
This powerful, exciting and deeply moving romance novel, which deals with the themes of post-colonialism, identity and the transatlantic slave trade, has received exceptional praise from critics for its refined emotional and intellectual approach to the subject. David Diop uses rich language and powerful narration to tell a story about the existence of personal and collective trauma in the context of the history of slavery.
