The advice Ben Okri offers before the main text here could hardly be simpler. “Read slowly,” he says. Yeah, yeah, but life is busy. Frankly, writers are always saying this kind of stuff as they pitch a new novel – a form that puts a premium on offering an immersive experience – into the endlessly scrolling environs of the attention economy.
But on this occasion at least, set aside any weariness Okri’s advice may provoke. His new novel is rich, strange and, as you find yourself looking back into previous chapters to check details, repays the time spent on it.
