Tiger Work: Ben Okri In Conversation

Description

Booker Prize-winning author Ben Okri tackles the biggest existential challenge facing the world today, climate change. His new book, Tiger Work, blends fiction, essay and poetry with imagined messages from beyond the end to make a powerful and personal appeal for change before there is no world left for us to fix.

These warnings are combined with a vision of an idyllic past in Okri’s recent novel, The Last Gift of the Master Artists, which shows a world in the moments before everything changed and innocence was lost with the arrival of the Transatlantic slave trade.

Join one of the foremost writers of our age, as he takes us on a journey full of stories, changing worlds, and hope.
