Teju Cole joins Boston University's Conversations in the Arts and Ideas
"Known and Strange Things"
This year’s BU Conversations in the Arts & Ideas lecture welcomes prodigious novelist, photographer, critic, curator, and author Teju Cole, to Boston University to discuss his work. Cole was born in the US and raised in Nigeria—a biographical fact that informs much of his work. His first novel, Open City, won the PEN/Hemingway Award. His second, Every Day Is for the Thief, was named a Book of the Year by The New York Times. Most recently, Cole produced Blind Spot—a synthesis of written observations and travel photography. Questions from the audience will follow. This virtual conversation will be moderated by Crystal Williams, Vice President and Associate Provost for Community & Inclusion. The event will be held online and is free and open to the public, but registration is required through Eventbrite.
The event is sponsored by the BU Center for the Humanities, Kilachand Honors College, Office of the Provost, CAS Dean’s Office, Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies, BU Arts Initiative, and CAS Core Curriculum.
