About this audiobook
The bestselling debut novel from a writer heralded as the twenty-first-century W. G. Sebald.
A haunting novel about national identity, race, liberty, loss and surrender, Open City follows a young Nigerian doctor as he wanders aimlessly along the streets of Manhattan. For Julius the walks are a release from the tight regulations of work, from the emotional fallout of a failed relationship, from lives past and present on either side of the Atlantic.
Isolated amid crowds of bustling strangers, Julius criss-crosses not just physical landscapes but social boundaries too, encountering people whose otherness sheds light on his own remarkable journey from Nigeria to New York - as well as into the most unrecognisable facets of his own soul.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An interesting lifestory, a look at life events from outside. How Cole manages to describe experiences that involve him, in a way that makes one feel like an ordinary objective observer. He's a good psychiatrist because he goes deep into a problem without confusion the reader.
