Was just thinking: are we ever going to get a proper follow-up to Open City from Teju Cole?
Then looked and was reminded he published Tremor in 2023. I clocked it then but totally forgot about it.
Hmmm... add to the infinity TBR?

Finally read #TejuCole's Open City (2011) & this passage, along with others referencing #Said, #Benjamin, #Didion, #Melville, #Coetzee, about plagues really stood out : "I read somewhere recently that the city of Leiden lost thirty-five percent of its population in a five-year period in the 1630s. What could it mean to live with such a possibility, with people of all ages dropping dead around you all the time? The thing is we have no idea" (200-201).

"Although I did not enjoy the cold seasons at their most intense, I had come to agree that there was a rightness about them, that there was a natural order in such things. The absence of this order, the absence of cold when it ought to be cold, was something I now sensed as a sudden discomfort."
A note on climate change in Teju Cole's 2011 novel Open City, which I finally got around to reading

@JeanMarcvanTol Lees vooral óók het boek #Tremor (Trilling), de nieuwe van #TejuCole, vooral hoofstuk 7 - de beschrijving van Nigeriaanse megastad Lagos is ronduit fenomenaal... (ik zie Tremor daar in de etalage liggen, onder jouw #Buat affiche, vandaar!)
