TREMOR
by Teju Cole, Penguin Random House
But Teju Cole’s Tremor makes it work and beautifully at that. The protagonist Tunde, a Nigeria-born professor at Harvard, much like Cole himself, is preoccupied by what one might call a forensic deconstruction of art. Famous artefacts stolen from indigenous populations, how colonialism aided certain ‘masters’ of their craft, the idea that much of photography-as-high-art consists of re-traumatizing already-battered people. Intertwined with these themes is Tunde’s own tenuous grasp on his marriage to a Japanese-American woman named Sadako. Arriving 12 years after his last novel (Open City), Tremor is a magisterial effort by one of our best writers.
