Tunde, the protagonist of this novel, delves into his life experiences, encompassing his upbringing in West Africa and his current role as a photography instructor at a renowned New England campus. He possesses a voracious appetite for stories, drawn to a diverse range of narratives: historical tales, epic sagas, accounts of friends, family, and strangers, as well as narratives found in books and films. Through his unique perspective, Tunde sees entire worlds unfold, and then refracts them back again.
A leisurely weekend spent browsing for antiques is intertwined with the haunting echoes of colonial atrocities that unfolded on that very land. A serene evening stroll is abruptly shattered by casual acts of racism. A loving marriage is plagued by enigmatic tensions. And a chorus of voices resounds from a bustling metropolis, creating a vibrant tapestry of life.
Tremor is a remarkable work of realism and innovation that delves into the intricacies of time and how we perceive and mark it. It is a profound exploration of human survival amidst the brutality of history, which eschews symmetry and offers little solace—yet, it also bears witness to the indomitable spirit of joy. This is narration that fully engages all of our senses, presenting a surprising and profoundly essential masterpiece from a luminary of contemporary literature.
An intimate novel that explores destabilization and catastrophe, Tremor spans across time, form, and geography with a fluidity and grace that is captivating. It is a dazzling performance from one of the most brilliant and singular minds at work today.
