The Freedom Artist

Man Booker prizewinner Ben Okri is renowned for writing that is both poetic and profound. He speaks of storytelling as a transformative act of great mystery and inspiration, of stories possessing a rare power. He challenges us as readers to imagine and then reimagine the world. Ben’s major new novel, The Freedom Artist, is a powerful call to arms: a searing examination of how freedom is threatened in a post-truth world.
