Alternatives says:
We welcome Booker Prize-winning writer Ben Okri to St James's Church for the first time. Ben Okri is the author of 18 books including The Famished Road, Songs of Enchantment and The Age of Magic
Description:
Ben Okri joins us this evening for a talk and reading from his new book The Magic Lamp: Dreams of Our Age
Twenty-five stories, twenty-five paintings, five years to write, ten years to paint. This is an extraordinary collaboration between artist and artist: the Booker Prize-winning writer Ben Okri and the painter Rosemary Clunie. Together they have created a world, and peopled it with dreams.
Twenty-five fairy tales for adults, these narratives are a response to our times, informed by our world but not limited by it, imaginative, enchanting, haunting – both prescient and prophetic.
Please join us for a unique and beautiful evening
