Ben Okri

Okri’s book The Famished Road is a treasure kept on many thousands of bookshelves, its mystical prose staying in many more memories. His latest book is an allegorical tale that follows eight film-makers heading for a Swiss mountain village to explore the meaning of life.

Okri’s writing challenges the conventions of what may be expected of a novel, using the literary form he calls fictive philosophy. Come and hear from the creator of this hypnotically beautiful book. Prepare to be disturbed, enlightened and transformed.
