Review:
"[A] literary and social visionary" (Ali Smith)
"These are beautiful stories but they bite" (New Statesman)
"Ben Okri...seems to have the two great gifts that are required to make a man a teller of tales: first, faultless artistic economy, which shows in his razor-sharp prose; second, an ability to place himself, chameleon-like in any milieu of society, from the highest to the lowest... Mr. Okri, in short, knows his business" (Evening Standard)
