It feels longer still because I left under a cloud.A young Nigerian living in New York City goes home to Lagos for a short visit, finding a city both familiar and strange.

He witnesses the yahoo yahoo diligently perpetrating email frauds from an Internet caf, longs after a mysterious woman reading on a public bus who disembarks and disappears into a bookless crowd, and recalls the tragic fate of an elevenyearold boy accused of stealing at a local market.Along the way, the man reconnects with old friends, a former girlfriend, and extended family, taps into the energies of Lagos lifecreative, malevolent, ambiguousand slowly begins to reconcile the profound changes that have taken place in his country and the truth about himself.In spare, precise prose that sees humanity everywhere, interwoven with original photos by the author, Every Day Is for the Thieforiginally published in Nigeria in 2007is a wholly original work of fiction.

Like Alfred Kazin, Joseph Mitchell, J. M. Coetzee, and W. G. Sebald (with whom he is often compared), Cole adds to the literature in his own zeitgeisty fashion.The Boston Globe
