A haunting novel about identity, dislocation, and history, Teju Cole's Open City is a profound work by an important new author who has much to say about our country and our world.

Along the streets of Manhattan, a young Nigerian doctor named Julius wanders, reflecting on his relationships, his recent breakup with his girlfriend, his present, his past. He encounters people from different cultures and classes who will provide insight on his journey--which takes him to Brussels, to the Nigeria of his youth, and into the most unrecognizable facets of his own soul.

"Magnificent . . . a remarkably resonant feat of prose."--The Seattle Times

Easy to Use, Great for Daily Outdoor Use
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 50
This has become my go-to sunscreen for daily walks. The spray works at any angle, which makes application quick and easy — especially when you’re trying to get out the door. 🙌 The scent is light and summery, not overpowering, which I appreciate. It performs well for regular outdoor use, though like most sprays, it does leave a slightly sticky feel on the skin. For those who pay attention to ingredients, this has an EWG rating of 4 (with 10 being the worst), so while it’s not the cleanest option out there, there are definitely greener alternatives if that’s a priority for you. Overall, a convenient and reliable everyday sunscreen, especially for active outdoor routines.

Best for Construction Workers
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70
I work on hot rooftops with a white surface, surrounded by metal duct work that reflects the sun all day long. It could be 70° at ground level but 100° on the roof. This is the best unscented, sweat proof sunscreen I have been able to find. I only need to reapply at around 1:00pm. I made it the entire summer without a sun burn. Pretty impressive.

Spray is so tough to
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 70
The spray doesn’t work at all - they are so hard to press down that it’s impossible for me to do without using two hands - it defeats the point of a spray.
