Ben Okri

Booker-Prize-winning novelist and poet Ben Okri launches his new novel. The Age of Magic, a beautiful work full of poetic and metaphysical revelations. The novel takes the reader on a journey a magical and a literal one as a tightly-knit group of filmmakers travel from Paris to a remote Swiss mountain village. Once there they are compelled to confront the demons they have been trying to escape.

Altogether Okri has published eight previous novels as well as collections of poetry short stories and essays and his work has been translated into 20 languages. Here he talks to journalist and author Paul Blezard.
