Every Day Is for the Thief

The book feels more like a meditation than a typical narrative, which made me wonder how much of that was a deliberate choice to mirror everyday life.

The reflections on history and identity felt layered but also elusive. I was curious if others picked up on particular moments that felt especially pointed.

Teju Cole’s perspective as a Nigerian-American seems to influence the narrative's introspective style. Wondering what inspired the balance between the two worlds.
