Recenzii
Okri is always good company and these 20-odd tales showcase his lucid prose and freewheeling imagination
Okri is a master of the genre: these fables are concise and otherworldly. Resplendent and lingering, they capture an ethereal plane between wakefulness and sleep with a skewed, dreamlike brutality and beauty... Okri's magnificent twilight zone provides a surreal and unique insight'
Okri is a master storyteller
The reader is in no doubt they are in the hands of a master storyteller throughout
Timeous, shocking and perceptive
An air of magic hovers over many of the tales... What really makes a tale, Okri shows, is how it is told'
How much you'll enjoy these Zeitgeisty global gobbets depends whether you accept platitudes as undervalued truths and whether you rate moral relativism a blessing or a blight. Either way, they're food for thought
A series of fables that make the reader question the nature of reality and whether what one sees in the world can really be all there is... The often magical elements in the stories that play with the imagination'
That's the adventure and thrill of Okri's collection: you never know which shocking end or mystical place he will take you to next. Within each story, Okri takes us on a journey across worlds that are only accessible in dreams and moments before death... Prayer for the Living creates beauty in the empty spaces, and the confusing lines between reality and myth. His stories rarely assert moral truths, but when they do, they're often spelled out in riddles. Regardless of where Ben Okri takes his readers, he does so with a steady, confident hand, even in ambiguity'
