Prayer For The Living

In his new collection, Booker Prize-winning author Ben Okri presents twenty-three short stories that explore the interplay between illusion and reality. Set across diverse locations such as London, Byzantium, and the Andes, these stories feature a range of intriguing characters—including a murderer, a writer, and even the author himself. With a blend of playfulness and darkness, Okri invites readers to question their perceptions of the world around them, challenging them to look deeper into what lies beneath the surface.
