Displaying the journalist's gift for interlocution, Lara led Teju Cole to speak about the long hiatus that spanned the release of his second novel, Open City and Tremor, his third.
Responding, Mr. Cole noted that "I procrastinated by making, like, six books in between Open City and Tremor. I think it was a search for form. When you work in fiction you just don't pick a form off the shelf."
