Description
Astonishing the Gods by Ben Okri is a modern fable with an ancient origin. In this deceptively simple novel, a young man discovers he is living among invisible beings who have built a utopia based on one principle: that we must repeat or suffer every experience until we experience it properly and fully for the first time. The hero of this story finds what he did not seek, and goes where he did not intend to go. As the author notes, 'the hero of this novel finds what he did not seek, and goes where he did not intend to go.' This thought-provoking tale explores the nature of experience and understanding. Ben Okri's writing weaves a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
