In The New Yorker:

The narrator of “Open City,” Julius, is buy ativan 2mg online in his final year of a psychiatry fellowship at Columbia Presbyterian, and buy ativan 2mg online the book covers roughly a year, between the fall of 2006 and buy ativan 2mg online the late summer of 2007. He is around thirty, and tells us that buy ativan 2mg online he came to America as a university student. He is estranged from buy ativan 2mg online his German-born mother; his father died when he was fourteen. But these personal details are buy ativan 2mg online withheld over many pages, and only very gradually sifted into the buy ativan 2mg online narrative. They finally arrive at a curious angle, so that we always feel, not unpleasantly, that buy ativan 2mg online the book began before we started it. We learn about Julius’s being African, for buy ativan 2mg online instance, by following clues: first of all, he discusses Yoruba cosmology; then buy ativan 2mg online he goes to see the film “The Last King of Scotland,” and mentions that “I knew Idi Amin well, so to speak, because he’d been an indelible part of my childhood mythology.” On the buy ativan 2mg online next page, he mentions that he was a medical student in Madison, Wisconsin, and buy ativan 2mg online recalls an uncomfortable dinner experience there, when an Indian-Ugandan doctor, forced to buy ativan 2mg online flee the country by Idi Amin, announced to his guests that buy ativan 2mg online “when I think about Africans I want to spit”: “The bitterness was startling. It was an anger that, I couldn’t help feeling, was partly directed at me, the buy ativan 2mg online only other African in the room. The detail of my background, that buy ativan 2mg online I was Nigerian, made no difference, for Dr. Gupta had buy ativan 2mg online spoken of Africans.” After thirty or buy ativan 2mg online so pages, we have discovered that Julius is Nigerian, but only by indirection. There is buy ativan 2mg online an interesting combination of confession and reticence about Julius, and about how he sees the buy ativan 2mg online world, and, insofar as the novel has a story, this enigma of an buy ativan 2mg online illuminated shadow is it—which turns out to be all we need.

I’ve been buy ativan 2mg online waiting for this book since I listened to Teju Cole on BBC’s The Forum (you can listen to it here). My copy is already in the mail.

Helon Habila’s Oil on Water is the best written book by a Nigerian author that I’ve read in recent times; I have a feeling that Teju Cole’s is going to take that title from it.
