The bestselling debut novel from a writer heralded as the
twenty-first-century W. G. Sebald. A haunting novel about national
identity, race, liberty, loss and surrender, Open City follows a
young Nigerian doctor as he wanders aimlessly along the streets of
Manhattan. For Julius the walks are a release from the tight
regulations of work, from the emotional fallout of a failed
relationship, from lives past and present on either side of the
Atlantic. Isolated amid crowds of bustling strangers, Julius
criss-crosses not just physical landscapes but social boundaries
too, encountering people whose otherness sheds light on his own
remarkable journey from Nigeria to New York - as well as into the
most unrecognisable facets of his own soul.
