Reviews

  • Triumphant...a joyful and entertaining read

    Guardian

  • Passages of extraordinary beauty... Okri paints a convincing surrealist picture

    Sunday Times

  • Reading Okri felt to me like talking to someone who has a secret

    New Statesman

  • Ben Okri writes beautifully... a triumph of inspiration over the everyday. His prose is dense with pungent metaphor, sometimes whimsical, sometimes bawdy... fraught with wild visions

    The Times

  • A love story and an account of the conflict between the parties of the rich and the poor... Okri's voice is all his own
