Description
Open City is a thought-provoking novel that explores what it means to be free in a city that seems to confine us.
The story follows Julius, a young Nigerian doctor navigating the busy streets of Manhattan as he tries to process his relationships and find his place in the world. As he wanders aimlessly, he encounters people from different cultures and classes who provide insight into his journey, taking him to Brussels and back to the Nigeria of his youth.
With intelligence and a clear, rhythmic voice, Teju Cole crafts a haunting and mature work that probes our country's complexities and our world's contradictions.
