Recensioner i media

"Triumphant...a joyful and entertaining read" Guardian "Passages of extraordinary beauty... Okri paints a convincing surrealist picture" Sunday Times "Reading Okri felt to me like talking to someone who has a secret" New Statesman "Ben Okri writes beautifully... a triumph of inspiration over the everyday. His prose is dense with pungent metaphor, sometimes whimsical, sometimes bawdy... fraught with wild visions" The Times "A love story and an account of the conflict between the parties of the rich and the poor... Okri's voice is all his own" Independent
