Foundation/PEN Award
(2012) for a distinguished first book of fiction.The Novel focuses on a young Nigerian doctor in America,Julius. Open City centers on Julius’ inner thoughts as he rambles throughout the
city, painting scenes of both what occurs around him and past events that he can’t help but dwell on.Reading Open City for me was like taking a stroll with the author in all the cities in the novel,His descriptive gift using words is just beyond words.
