Monsters without a homeland
Author's Name: Uzodinma Iweala
It is night. It is day. It is light. It is dark. It is very hot. It is very cold. It is rainy. It is very sunny. It is very dry. It is very humid. But we are fighting all the time. No matter what happens, we are always fighting. All the time the bullets are eating away at everything, the leaves, the trees, the ground, the people—they are eating away at everything—they make people bleed everywhere, and blood is flowing all over the bush. The bleeding makes people scream and shout all the time, screaming for their mothers and fathers, God and the devil, screaming in a language that no one ever understands. Sometimes I cover my ears so I don't hear the bullets and screaming, and sometimes I am the one screaming and shooting, and then all I hear is my own voice. Sometimes I want to cry out loud, but no one cries in this place. If I cry, they will look at me because a soldier shouldn't cry.

"Beasts of No Country" is the debut novel by Nigerian writer Uzodinma Iweala. It tells the story of a child, Agu, who is needlessly thrown into combat. In a country engulfed in civil war, he is captured by guerrilla fighters, robbed of his peaceful childhood—a childhood defined by the warmth of family, the play of friends, the ambitions of school, and the comfort of church—and plunged into a savage war from which only the fiercest of beasts can escape. The child experiences the horrors of war, hunger, fear, and suffering, and through his unique and captivating language, which is simultaneously brutal and innocent, he narrates a painful story and a tale of misery that we experience with all its sensitive and honest details.
The book won numerous awards and was adapted into a stage play and then a Netflix film, which won the NME Award for Best Film of 2016.
