Prayer for the Living, the new collection from the Booker Prize-winning author Ben Okri, brings together stories from different worlds that blur the lines between illusion and reality. He discusses the role of fiction in these difficult times.
Ben Okri was born in Minna, Nigeria. His childhood was divided between Nigeria, where he saw first-hand the consequences of war, and London. His novel The Freedom Artist was published by Head of Zeus in 2019.
Event chaired by Steven Gale.
