'Okri is incapable of writing a boring sentence' Independent on Sunday
Praise for Ben Okri:
[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 at a time of deep reckoning and crisis his work feel[s] all the more prescient. New York Times
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
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
