Known and Strange Things by Teju Cole

5.0

This assembly of essays stretching from photography, literature, politics to film studies and art criticism is totally worth reading. I enjoyed all of them, even - or maybe especially - those dealing with topics that I have no paericular knowledge about. Teju Cole's thoughts are clear-structured and cleverly arranged, guiding you but still leaving enough space for your own evaluations. His essays made me rethink some of my everyday practices and allowed me to discover some beautiful new things (I do adore Michael Haneke now - thanks for that!). More of that please!
