‘I am writing this note while you’re still asleep. It’s still early enough that I can open the windows in my room. By the time you read this, I’ll be at work. Please pardon the strange formality of writing to you when I could just have said to you in person what I want to say. But since I have failed to say it, it is reasonable to conclude that I am having some difficulty speaking.’

Pharmakon presents an unexpected fusion of enigmatic photographs and succinct narratives, marking a fresh endeavor by the distinctive Teju Cole.
Captured worldwide, the photographs expand upon the unique perspective introduced in Fernweh (2020). Interwoven with these visuals are prose pieces, reminiscent of intimate dispatches from our era of turmoil, delving deeper into Cole's masterful command of language showcased in novels like Open City (2011) and Tremor (2023). The outcome is a creation of peculiar allure, simultaneously unsettling and comforting.
