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 accutely 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)

A young man returns to Nigeria after fifteen years in New York. The country of his childhood has changed: it has found fast-food restaurants, email cafes, contempt for authority and the all-consuming draw of 'money for nothing'. From the consulate back in Manhattan to the dusty streets of Lagos, life runs like clockwork -- as long as you can pay the fee: a bribe for the visa clerk; a 'Christmas gift' at immigration. Petrol pumps overcharge and internet cafes overflow with scammers. Every Day is for the Thief is a candid tale of political and spiritual corruption, and a moving account of what it means to go home.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A young man returns to Nigeria after fifteen years in New York. Like him, his childhood country has grown up quickly: found fast-food restaurants, email caf s, contempt for authority; the all-consuming draw of money for nothing.From the consulate in Manhattan to the dusty streets of Lagos, life in modern Nigeria runs like clockwork - as long as you pay the fee. A bribe for the visa clerk, a 'Christmas gift' at immigration, cash - no receipt - at the unofficial tollbooth. Petrol pumps are rigged to overcharge and internet caf s overflow with career scammers, but the police are too busy doling out bogus fines to care. In a country routinely plundered of its oil and ancient treasures, who is to say who can thieve and who can't?As our narrator makes the difficult journey back to his family house and its memories, he is confronted by the paradox of a country he wants to love, as burdened by its impoverished past as it is blinded by the spoils of the future. A candid tale of political and spiritual corruption from the author of international bestseller Open City. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9780571307944
