Maddie Crum Reviews Every Day is for the Thief by Teju Cole

Verdict: carrot

Teju Cole’s memoir-like novella, Every Day Is for the Thief, takes its name from a Nigerian proverb, “Every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner.” This optimism regarding the future of Cole’s war-torn home country pulsates steadily, if quietly, through a story that could have been mired in tragedy.
