Last year brought with it the news that Teju Cole’s next book would be an essay collection. Now, that essay collection, titled Known and Strange Things, has a cover. It’s due out on Random House on August 9th, and it is likely that we will gathered at our local bookstore at 11:59 p.m. on the night of August 8th.
