Known and Strange Things by Teju Cole
4.0
A wandering, thought-provoking collection of short essays about the ways we relate to each other, through art, travel, history, and conversations with friends and strangers.
My only complaint is that so many of the essays were about art and photography, and yet the edition of the book I read had only a dozen or so pages of the referenced art. I don't know whether this was due to space or cost constraints, or trouble with licenses, but I definitely preferred the essays where I could actually see the works in question.
