Atta Otigba and Yetide Badaki give outstanding performances in Teju Cole’s imagistic, nonlinear novel. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Alan Minskoff discuss this distinctly postmodern work that captures the complexity of love and marriage. Badaki has precise diction and a lovely artistic tone, while Otigba delivers his parts in a powerful and authoritative voice. Both serve as grand guides to a world of art, history, and criticism.
