Really enjoyed this book and have recommended it widely. More broadly - I am a huge Teju Cole fan and have talked about him at length in my newsletter

Featured in Shelf Awareness for Readers Column, "Contemporary Nigerian Voices,"

"Teju Cole's second novel also centers on a Nigerian expatriate, using the experience of the narrator's return to his hometown of Lagos to highlight the corruption of the city. Peppered with photos taken by Cole, Every Day Is for the Thief is in every way a story of place, exploring themes of immigration and home and the complexity of both."
