«Ciudad abierta» is the contemporary fiction novel by Teju Cole, published by Acantilado in paperback (296 pages, in Spanish).
Julius, a young Nigerian psychiatrist at a New York hospital, walks through Manhattan on long strolls. Wandering aimlessly frees his mind and gives way to reflections on literature, art, music, relationships and history. Along the way, other voices and others' experiences cross with his own, and the walk ends up being also an inner journey.
The novel belongs to the Acantilado Narrativa collection, number 211, translated from English by Marcelo Cohen de Levis. It received the PEN/Hemingway Award.
For readers of contemporary fiction seeking an introspective and urban narrative, with a singular literary voice.
