In April we read Open City by Tegu Cole
 |
Along the streets of Manhattan, a young Nigerian doctor wanders aimlessly. Walking releases Julius from the regimented environment of work and gives him an opportunity to consider his past and his present, and his recent break-up with his girlfriend. As he walks, Julius encounters people from different cultures and classes who provide insight on his journey – a journey which will take him to Brussels, to the Nigeria of his youth, and into the most unrecognisable parts of his own soul.
In our Words: Aimless; Boring; Confronting images of a Western society; Frustrating; Grasshopper-ed; Meandering; Solitary; Uninspiring
