The Playlist is back in its regular spot on Fridays. The latest guest is:
Teju Cole is the author of the novella “Every Day is for the Thief” (Cassava Republic Press), and writes an arts column for the Nigerian newspaper NEXT on Sunday. His new novel will be published by Random House in 2010.
His list, which he dubs a “soundrack for a novel in progress,” is very minimalist, including a 10th silent track. Nice.
