Críticas:
As readers of Cole's novel Open City will expect, this book is beautifully written, compelling, concise and with a degree of romantic abandon. (Philip Hensher Independent on Sunday)
One of the things I immediately loved about Every Day is For the Thief is its refusal to conform to genre, which makes reading it, especially after a steady stream of plot-driven novels, feel like coming up for air...In the poetic final shot, Lagos holds her head with dignity, and she looks stunning. (NoViolet Bulawayo Financial Times)
The short, elegantly crafted chapters of Every Day is for the Thief offer accutey observed snapshots of Lagos life. The appeal of this novel lies...in the sheer intimate pleasure of a passionate examination of the flaws of the beloved. (Ella Allfrey Independent)
Teju Cole has a photographer's eye for detail. (Helon Habila Guardian)

Teju Cole has a photographer's eye for detail. (Helon Habila Guardian)
A young man decides to visit Nigeria after years of absence. Ahead lies the difficult journey back to the family house and all its memories; meetings with childhood friends and above all, facing up to the paradox of Nigeria, whose present is as burdened by the past as it is facing a new future.
Along the way, our narrator encounters life in Lagos. He is captivated by a woman reading on a danfo; attempts to check his email are frustrated by Yahoo boys; he is charmingly duped buying fuel. He admires the grace of an aunty, bereaved by armed robbers and is inspired by the new malls and cultural venues. The question is: should he stay or should he leave?
But before the story can even begin, he has to queue for his visa.
Every Day is for the Thief is a striking portrait of Nigeria in change. Through a series of cinematic portraits of everyday life in Lagos, Teju Cole provides a fresh approach to the returnee experience.
