A review by hwks
Blind Spot by Teju Cole

reflective slow-paced

2.5

I am pretty sure I am not the correct audience for this. This is perhaps very evocative for artists and/or people with a background in art history, able to craft a through-line across this work and appreciate what are (in my own uneducated judgement) often mediocre photographs and their prose-pairings. So much of this felt deeply pretentious and overly academic. There were some that I did find beautiful or interesting in their own way, but so much of the prose was really esoteric and made this a frustrating read for me. Might be great for some, definitely not for me.
