Here he plays with the mystique of the African continent, countering simplistic narratives of suffering that have been imposed on it with vibrant, nuanced portraits of the traditions and resilience of African peoples. An invaluable window onto Okri's experiences as a Nigerian immigrant to the United Kingdom and as a writer discovering his calling, these poems also speak to universal truths about love, injustice, and the search for meaning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Okri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635423104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635423105\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Other Press (NY)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Ben Okri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227497099519,"sku":"9781635423105","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_646013b4-2589-408b-bffb-16071c608e77.jpg?v=1692809009","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-african-elegy-ben-okri-9781635423105","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
