Every Day is for the Thief

Resumen del libro

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.
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.
