‘The temperature of the world has become really uncomfortable,’ says Ben Okri when asked about the motivations behind new novel The Freedom Artist. ‘Books are born often because of a deep passion for something […] but they are also born because the times – the age – is right for it.’
The Man Booker Prize-winning author joins Beth AQ to discuss the basic but powerful questions we should never stop asking and why the state of the world demands a closer look at the concept of freedom.
