Köp båda 2 för 225 krAnother piercing collection of short stories... Masterful * Time Out * There are many novelists who write as well as Ben Okri, many who share his gift for recreating the texture of everyday life, many who can cut through the surface to expose, as he does, the myths of our elders and betters use to keep us in our place. There are very few novelists who can do all three. The fact that Ben Okri has done so in short stories, without ever losing his balance, his humour or his edge, makes his accomplishment all the more exceptional * Observer * In a few brief sentences Ben Okri captures the arrogance and faceless indifference of the military forces which patrol the margins of these stories * Independent * Stamped with the ease of a truly original imagination -- Wole Soyinka
