Summary

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.

`The hero of this novel finds what he did not seek, and goes where he did not intend to go. As I did in writing it.`—Ben Okri
