Teju Cole has always played against the novel's plot conventions. In 'Tremors,' a Black art professor views the world through the lens of history.
In his 2022 photo series, “Night Coming Tenderly, Black,” photographer Dawoud Bey reimagines the path of enslaved people escaping along the Underground Railroad. The photographs were taken during the daytime but printed in black and gray tones, giving them an eerie quality, illuminating what could never been seen under the cover of darkness.
Cole exposes the stain of history and the constant presence of racism, fear and violence in Tunde’s daily life, raising questions about the role these things play in our art and, more specifically, in the novel. “Tremor” is a commentary on — or perhaps an answer to — the criticism that autofiction often focuses on upper-class white people. This section of the book emboldens and expands Cole’s vision.
