Blind Spot by Teju Cole
3.0
Teju Cole's book is an interesting one. It has this detached air to it. This strange sense of presence and absence.
However, it was things missing that cost this one a decent rating.
I wanted more of a concrete tone and narrative. It was all over the place. And that was charming, to an extent. But I think it lacked enough of a cohesive style to endear it to me. Too many pages dropped like ephemera. I needed more of the pages that really hit the heart. And many did. Just not enough of them.
