About this listen

From Booker Prize winner Ben Okri: a deceptively simple modern fable with an ancient origin.

A young man finds himself 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.

Pure poetry

A mystical journey that encounters thoroughly the transmutational powers of experience, philosophy, art, confusion and love for the doing. Steeped in metaphor and prose yet very much grounded this story has grown a home in my heart. ❤️
