A haunting novel about identity, dislocation, and history, Teju
Cole's "Open City" is a profound work by an important new author
who has much to say about our country and our world.
Along the streets of Manhattan, a young Nigerian doctor named
Julius wanders, reflecting on his relationships, his recent breakup
with his girlfriend, his present, his past. He encounters people
from different cultures and classes who will provide insight on his
journey--which takes him to Brussels, to the Nigeria of his youth,
and into the most unrecognizable facets of his own soul.
