Reviews
PRAISE FOR STARBOOK: 'Stands in the grand tradition of myth-making exemplified in One Hundred Years of Solitude and Midnight's Children, although the book has a vision and a voice uniquely its own' Observer. 'A work of magic' Sunday Times. '[Okri] has a diction which glides superbly. His ear is pitch perfect' * Scotsman *
