- More about The Donkey Field
The Donkey Field connects a racist attack on a young boy to the persecution of Marie and Balthazar in Au Hasard Balthazar, highlighting the relevance of the boy's story to other displacement and persecution stories.

Publisher: The Everyday Press
The Donkey Field, a novel by Sarah Dobais, connects a racist attack on a young boy to the story of persecution in the acclaimed film Au Hasard Balthazar (Robert Bresson, 1966). The book incorporates a text based on sections of a memoir of Budapest in 1944 and scenes that re-enact and reframe Bresson's allegorical tale about the scapegoating of innocent subjects. The film was partly shot on the streets of present-day Budapest, under a regime criticized for its anti-immigrant policies and harsh treatment of refugees. The Donkey Field highlights the relevance of the boy's story to other recent stories of displacement and persecution. The black-and-white book adopts the format of a photo novella and subtly references a 1952 book by Jacques Prevert that also features a donkey.
