Black Paper by Teju Cole

Black Paper by Teju Cole

A wide-ranging collection of essays from a celebrated master of the form.

"He takes in news from African countries and American cities; but also, by necessity and interest, Asian, European and Latin American culture and historyIn short, the world belongs to Cole and is thornily and gloriously allied with his curiosity and his personhood."-- "Claudia Rankine, New York Times Book Review, on Known and Strange Things" "The forms of resistance depend on the culture they resist, and in our era of generalizations and approximations and sloppiness, Teju Cole's precise and vivid observation and description is an antidote and a joy. This is a book written with a scalpel, a microscope, and walking shoes, full of telling details and sometimes big surprises."-- "Rebecca Solnit, on Known and Strange Things" "[Teju Cole is] an emissary for our best selves. He is sampling himself for our benefit, hoping for enlightenment, and seeking to provide pleasure to us through his art. May his realm expand." -- "Norman Rush, New York Review of Books, on Known and Strange Things" "The places he can go, you feel, are just about limitless." -- "Dwight Garner, New York Times, on Every Day Is for the Thief"
