Teju Cole Sitting Together in the Dark
Writer and photographer Teju Cole says he is \u201cintrigued by the continuity of places, by the singing line that connects them all.\u201d He attends to the border, overlap and interplay of things \u2014 from Brahms and Baldwin to daily technologies like Google. To delve into his mind and his multiple arts is to meet this world with creative raw materials for enduring truth and quiet hope.\nTeju Cole is a photography critic for The New York Times and the Gore Vidal Professor of the Practice of Creative Writing at Harvard. His books are Blind Spot, a book of photography and writing; a collection of essays, Known and Strange Things; and two novels: Open City and Every Day Is for the Thief.\nFind the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.
