One Night

written by Kelvin Ngong Toh

In One Night, Toh masterfully weaves a poetic narrative that explores power dynamics and individual action in the face of colonialism. Set against the backdrop of a ruler’s twilight years, the story follows Yuh, who grapples with the legacy of his reign over a prosperous nation threatened by foreign forces. As Yuh confronts the potential annihilation of his life’s work, he rekindles his artistic spirit, crafting a poetic narrative that reflects the African perspective on colonialism and its consequences. Toh’s rich storytelling and evocative language captivate readers, inviting them to delve into a world where power struggles, cultural identity, and human resilience intertwine. One Night is a testament to artistry and a poignant exploration of historical themes that resonate across time.
