Winner of the Booker Prize for The Famished Road, Ben Okri is widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary writers writing today. Featuring a substantial new interview with Ben Okri himself, a full bibliography of his creative work and covering his complete works, this is the first in-depth study of Okri’s themes and artistic vision. Rosemary Gray explores Okri’s career-long engagement with myth, Nigerian politics and culture, and with the environmental crisis in the age of the Anthropocene.
