Reviews
-
A magical take on Africa before the arrival of the Atlantic slave ships – a world of art and artists, lovers, storytellers and philosophers... The beauty of Okri's prose is [...] the overwhelming star of the show
Independent
-
Told with a bracing sincerity... and gnomic wisdom expressed in supple but sturdy prose
Daily Telegraph
-
'[Okri's] writing takes on the great riddles of existence - freedom and consciousness, truth and illusion, suffering and transcendence - spinning them into shimmering, allegorical texts.'
New York Times

PRAISE FOR BEN OKRI:
'Where fiction's master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace and uncommon power' Marlon James, on The Freedom Artist.
'Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three – literature, culture and vision – are profoundly interwoven'Ali Smith
