Rezension zu „The Famished Road “
"Overwhelming - just buy it for its beauty" New Statesman "A brilliant read, unlike anything you have ever read before...the message is universal" The Times "It is a rich, provocative and hopeful vision of the world, stuffed full of drama and surprise-its literary lineage - the ease with which spirits move through every day life - is from ancient Greece and medieval romances" Independent "Okri is incapable of writing a boring sentence. As one startling image follows the next, The Famished Road begins to read like an epic poem that happens to touch down just this side of prose... When I finished the book and went outside, it was as if all the trees of South London had angels sitting in them" -- Linda Grant Independent on Sunday
Pressezitat
This is a book to generate apostles. People will be moved and, with stars in their eyes, will pass on the word Time Out
