Reviews"A collection that conveys an urgent message about humans' 'suicidal relationship with the earth.'...An artist's ardent plea for change." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Ben Okri: "Okri is a master in knowing what is better left unsaid...each word chosen is vital." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three--literature, culture, and vision--are profoundly interwoven." --Ali Smith "Fiction's master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace, and uncommon power." --Marlon James "I love the mythical, fablelike quality of his stories. There is something very comforting and ancient about them." --Alan Cumming, Praise for Ben Okri: "Okri is a master in knowing what is better left unsaid...each word chosen is vital." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three--literature, culture, and vision--are profoundly interwoven." --Ali Smith "Fiction's master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace, and uncommon power." --Marlon James "I love the mythical, fablelike quality of his stories.

SynopsisA Best Book of 2023 by The New Yorker In this poignant, timely collection, the renowned Booker Prize-winning author evokes the magic of nature and the urgency of protecting our environment. Twenty thousand years after a catastrophe wiped out the human race, visitors uncover their final messages scattered across the planet, in flooded cities and disintegrating books. These writings reveal the tragedies of people who continued to live as they always did--fearfully, selfishly--even as the end of their world loomed. These haunting stories within a story, together with a powerful selection of poems, fables, and essays, are a necessary reminder of the beauty of the earth and the importance of addressing the climate crisis with clarity, artistry, and passion.
