Back to African Writers. I read Ben Okri for the first time a few years back in an international fiction anthology. Since the start of this course I’ve picked up a couple of his other works and found them just as satisfying as that first story I read.
Here, at the Urhobo Historical Society, one can find a good deal of information on Ben Okri, including a fantastic 1992 interview as well as links to other sites concerned with his fiction.
He is considered a top notch fiction writer, and I think he rivals, if not surpasses Achebe’s skill with language.
