Astonishing the Gods
Description
Explore the extraordinary imagination of Booker Prize-winner and visionary author Ben Okri – one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary literature.
'The hero of this novel finds what he did not seek, and goes where he did not intend to go. As I did in writing it. I set out to find one thing, but found another.' BEN OKRI
In this disarmingly beautiful modern fable with an ancient origin, a young man finds himself living among invisible beings who have built a utopia based on one principle: that we must repeat every experience until we live it properly and fully for the first time.
'Beautiful. A new creation myth' Daily Telegraph
'Amazing. I think this is as close as you can get to reliving the experience of a bedtime story' Guardian
